Trump’s World War III warning, blames Zelensky for lack of progress in Russia-Ukraine peace deal

US: US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning that the Russia Ukraine war could eventually escalate into a 'third world war' if the fighting continues unchecked. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump expressed frustration over the widening conflict and said that an estimated 25,000 people, mostly soldiers were killed in the past month alone.

Calling for an urgent halt to the violence, he said, “I’d like to see the killing stop… for the most part, 25,000 soldiers died last month. I would love to see it end. And we’re working very hard.”

Trump cautioned that prolonged tensions could have catastrophic global consequences. “Things like this end up in third-world wars,” he remarked. “I said it the other day if everyone keeps playing these games, we will end up in a third world war, and nobody wants that.”
