Evgeny Buzhinskiy, a retired Lieutenant-General, claimed the Cold War was rather comfortable in comparison to the current conflict and the West should be prepared because Vladimir Putin “will not accept defeat” if World War 3 started.

Speaking to Channel 4 News, he said: “I think it’s worse than the Cold War, which we have been waging for 40 years after the Second World War.

“In the Cold War time I was in the armed forces and I was quite comfortable I’d say.

“There were definite duels and definite red lines – everybody knew what to do.There were no threats, no sanctions, no isolation, no cornering, no nothing.

“There was just ideological confrontation, but people on both sides knew how far they could go.”

The military veteran was then asked by the presenter whether rising tensions could lead to a third world war.

The General responded: “Of course. I repeat, you cannot control military confrontation between Russia and the United States.

Of course Russia cannot wage a war against the United States. For years, economically it cannot.

“In the general purpose forces, we are a bit lagging behind the United States.

“And of course, Russia will no accept any kind of defeat.

“So the involvement of nuclear weapons is inevitable.”

When asked if he is just trying to scare viewers, Mr Buzhinskiy said he was scared for the possible repercussions. He added: “I am scared myself because I have children and I have grandchildren so I am scared for their fate.”
