German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s decision to supply Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine may widen the Russia-Ukraine conflict to the whole of Europe and potentially start a new world war, Bolivian geopolitical and security analyst Jose Hugo Moldiz Mercado told Sputnik.
“The German chancellor’s authorization for strikes against the Russian territory from Ukraine is an indirect German interference from a military perspective and a direct interference from a political perspective, which is aimed at widening the conflict to span the continent.
And that is, obviously, a great risk not only for Europe or Eurasia, but for the entire world, because there is only one step left to a possible World War III,” the expert said.
Hugo Moldiz said Russia was “defending its territory and the right of nations to self-determination,” arguing that many Russian-speaking people in Ukraine wanted to live in Russia again.
Germany is threatening Russia.
