New Delhi: Vladimir Putin, 68, has just signed a law giving himself two additional terms of six years each, which enables him to remain the Russian President until he turns 84 in the year 2036. He was, apparently, influenced by his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, who has, similarly, enabled himself to remain President-for-Life.

But they both may soon have to face a new situation: World War III!

For, independent Russian military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer has warned that a European or even a World War could be triggered in the next four weeks in Ukraine after Russia dispatched nearly 4,000 soldiers to the disputed border with its neighbor.

His analysis came after President Putin deployed up to 4,000 Russian soldiers along with tanks and other armored vehicles to the disputed border with its neighboring Ukraine.

The European Union is on high alert and has already expressed concern over Russian activity near Ukraine, media reported on Tuesday.

Watching the crisis escalate on the Russia-Ukraine border, Felgenhauer has warned that the situation could descend into a “world war” within weeks if tensions are not stemmed immediately.

Felgenhauer believes that the concerns expressed by the West are right, as unverified new footage appears to show military movements in Russia’s Voronezh, Rostov and Krasnodar regions. Some footages show dozens of military helicopters close to the frontier, and the movement of tanks and other military vehicles using trains.

“The crisis has the potential to escalate into a pan-European war, if not even a world one. But for now, potential. Will it happen or not? Let’s wait and see. In the West, they don’t know what to do about it,” Felgenhauer told Rosbalt news outlet.

As tensions are now escalating to new heights, Felgenhauer claimed that it now requires the service of a psychoanalyst to determine Russia’s intentions in Ukraine.

“Address this question to a psychoanalyst. Do I need to explain? The facts are there, everything is already happening. The threats are growing, and rapidly. Much is not discussed in the media, but we are seeing very bad signs,” added Felgenhauer.

Meanwhile, the US has pledged continued support to Ukraine. US defense officials revealed that they were aware of military movements that are happening in Russia. Russia, on the other hand, has vowed to take strict measures if NATO decided to send troops to Ukraine.

Ukraine has accused Russia of having 32,700 troops in Crimea. Ruslan Khomchak, the Ukrainian commander-in-chief, recently revealed that the country is prepared for all potential scenarios emerging in the coming weeks.

Last week, Khomchak had said that Russia is building up armed forces near Ukraine’s borders in a threat to the country’s security and accused Moscow of pursuing an “aggressive policy” towards Kyiv.

Addressing parliament, he also accused pro-Moscow Ukrainian separatists of systematically violating a ceasefire in the conflict in eastern Ukraine agreed in July 2020.

Ukraine and Russia have been blaming each other for a spike in violence in the conflict, which Kyiv says has killed 14,000 people since 2014.

However, The Kremlin said that Russian military movements near its shared border with Ukraine posed no threat to Ukraine or anyone else and that Moscow moved troops around its country as it saw fit.
