Colonel Douglas McGregor, former Pentagon adviser, said in an interview with the London Real YouTube channel that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s adequate response to the actions of Western countries made it possible to avoid a third world war.

He noted that NATO, which understands the critical situation of the Ukrainian army, can take hasty steps. In particular, send your contingent to the west of Ukraine, and such harmony will eventually provoke a world war.
