The impetus for the start of the Third World War will be the events in Ukraine.
If Russian tanks reach Kyiv, the Third World War will break out. This was stated by Italian Defense Minister Guido Crozetto during a meeting with his French counterpart, the Italian publication RAI News writes.
“The third world war could start if Russian tanks arrive in Kyiv and on the borders of Europe. Not allowing them to come is the only way to stop it,” Crozetto believes.
He emphasized that the security of Italy and France begins with “the eastern front and what is happening in Ukraine.” Both ministers agreed that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the biggest threat to peace and stability in Europe since World War II.
“This is a clear violation of the principles of integrity and inviolability of territorial borders, international law and the Charter of the United Nations,” the Italian minister said.
Delivery of Italian weapons to Ukraine
Italy has already delivered six packages of military aid to Ukraine. In particular, the Italians delivered a certain amount of artillery to Ukraine, which became a significant reinforcement for the Armed Forces.
In December, the Italian parliament voted to continue military supplies to Ukraine. Italy will help Kyiv at least until the end of 2023.
Preparations for sending the SAMP/T air defense complex are currently being completed. This is a joint Franco-Italian technology.
