A Russian former general has warned the world is on the brink of ‘the last war in the history of mankind’ amid the diplomatic fallout over the poisoning of a UK spy.
Evgeny Buzhinskiy, who served 41 years in the Russian military, said expelling diplomats from the EU and US after Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in Salisbury is creating a situation which is ‘worse than the Cold War’.
Asked to explain himself, Mr Buzhinskiy added: ‘A real war. Worse than the Cold War is a real war. It will be the last war in the history of mankind.’
Mr Buzhinskiy, who retired with the rank of Lieutenant General in 2009, was being quizzed by Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4.
When the presenter asked whether the Skripal case could lead directly to war, Mr Buzhinskiy responded: ‘Not the Salisbury poisoning, but the pressure.
‘The United States is saying the pressure will continue. What is that going to achieve? You are going to achieve regime change? It is useless.
‘You don’t know Russians. The more pressure there is, the more the society is concentrated around the President.
