World War 3 imminent? Experts say nuclear attack against Russia may take place from..., not US, Ukraine
Representational Image Russia-Ukraine war: Barely a month after the Israel-Iran war raised fears of a global, another major conflict threatens to trigger World War 3 as reports in the Russian state media claim that NATO countries led by the United States are allegedly preparing to launch a large scale nuclear attack on Russia. What do the reports say? Russia media reports, citing experts and analysts close to the Kremlin, claim that NATO is preparing for a major conflict with Russia, amid heightened tensions between Moscow and the US-led Western powers due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Experts believe that such a conflict could potentially trigger World War 3 as Russia's allies like China would step in military, resulting in a global conflict. Its believed these reports are designed to prepare the Russian citizens for a major war with NATO, including a nuclear conflict. Why Russia-Ukraine war could trigger World War 3? Reports circulating in government-affiliated news outlets, including Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP), have warned of an impending nuclear war with NATO, claiming that the West, including the US, Britain, and their European allies, could launch a large-scale war on Russia by the end of the current decade. Russian experts believe that war is part of larger strategy to balkanize Russia, which would inevitably trigger a third world war as Moscow's allies would join the battle. Notably, General Christopher Donahue, commanding general of the US Army Europe and Africa, has publicly talked about attacking Russia's Kaliningrad region, which is surrounded by NATO countries, and stands isolated from the rest of Russia. Moscow issued a stern response, stating that it would take any and all measures to to protect Kaliningrad, including deploying nuclear weapons. Where would the attack be launched from? According to Russian experts, NATO could use Finland, which recently joined the alliance, as a launchpad for attacking Russia, even as Moscow's SVR intelligence service has accused the US-led military grouping of converting Moldova into into a military base, which could lead to a direct confrontation between NATO and Russian forces in Eastern Europe. Russian Military commentator Zimovsky warned that any attack on St. Petersburg or Kaliningrad would lead to a wider war, while former President Dmitry Medvedev asserted that a World War 3 situation has already arisen due to the US and Europe meddling in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Putin ally goes on mad WW3 rant - with threat of nuclear annihilation for UK
Vladimir Putin ally Nikolai Patrushev has warned that UK risks nuclear war with alleged provocations amid rising Ukraine strikes, including a fake torpedo plot Russia has accused Britain of trying to spark a nuclear World War 3 by provoking Moscow and scheming to drag Donald Trump into a showdown with Vladimir Putin. In a chilling warning, top Kremlin powerbroker Nikolai Patrushev, an important ally to Putin and former head of the FSB spy agency, claimed the UK is plotting "sophisticated anti-Russian provocations" alongside Ukraine in the Baltic Sea. Among the bizarre allegations was a plan to stage a fake Russian torpedo attack on a US warship, and even the planting of old Soviet anchor mines in the region to blame Moscow. Patrushev, 74, claimed that Britain had been handed Russian-made torpedoes by Ukraine for use in such a false-flag stunt, which he claims was designed to derail talks between Moscow and Washington and force America to ramp up weapons supplies to Kyiv. The claims come as Russia flexes its military muscle with the massive 'July Storm' war games, involving over 150 combat ships, 120 warplanes, and 15,000 troops, with live missile launches and nuclear subs prowling the seas. One submarine, the atomic-powered Oryol, has reportedly carried out simulated missile strikes on a mock Western target. And in a further escalation, Russia's infamous 'Doomsday Radio', often linked to nuclear mobilisation, has begun pumping out cryptic codewords, including 'Himalayan', 'Pekinsky' and 'Kommunike'. Patrushev pulled no punches as he warned of a potential hot war with the West, saying: 'Submarines are capable of cooling any hot head." He blasted NATO's movements as 'rehearsals for full-scale aggression' and claimed the West is pushing Moscow to the brink, the Express reports. Russian military chiefs say British and American nuclear submarines are shadowing their territory, running regular patrols dangerously close to Russian waters. Patrushev added: 'Russia does not seek confrontation, but will defend itself by all means available. Any test of our combat readiness will be met with an immediate and harsh response.' Meanwhile, war is raging inside Russia's own borders. Overnight, Ukrainian strikes rocked multiple strategic targets, as Kyiv's forces hit back with precision-guided HIMARS missiles. In occupied Donetsk, a suspected Russian army HQ near the Zasyadko mine went up in flames. Further south, a massive blaze tore through the Tambov Gunpowder Plant, a vital supplier to Putin's military, reportedly following a drone attack. More Ukrainian drones targeted the Azot chemical plant in Stavropol, which is key to artillery shell production, in a wave of nearly 40 strikes. Chaos erupted across southern Russia as drone raids hit Sochi's busy Black Sea airport, delaying dozens of flights, and crippled railways in Rostov and Krasnodar. Two civilians were injured when a passenger train was struck in Timashevsk. Elsewhere, airports in Vladikavkaz, Grozny, Nalchik, and Tambov were all temporarily shut down amid the drone bombardments. But Russia hit back with overnight strikes rained down on Kherson, cloaking the city in smoke, while brutal bombardments in Kharkiv a day earlier killed two and wounded 40. Back in Moscow, speculation is swirling that Putin's powerful aide Patrushev is lining up his son Dmitry, a 47-year-old deputy prime minister, to succeed the Russian leader when he eventually steps down. With nuclear drills, drone wars, and veiled threats flying in all directions, tensions between Russia and the West are now edging frighteningly close to the point of no return.
