Russian elder statesman Mikhail Gorbachev today warned of the threat of Armageddon if Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin fail to rapidly ‘defrost’ their icy relations.
The architect of glasnost also demanded that Moscow and the European Union end what he sees as the start of a new Cold War between east and west triggered by the Ukraine crisis.
Fearing ‘terrible consequences’, he warned: The catastrophic fall in the level of trust in international relations came as a result of the events which took place in the last few months.
‘Judging by the recent declarations, diplomats of both sides are preparing for many long years of confrontation.
‘This is extremely dangerous.
‘With such emotions running so high, as we have now, we may not survive through these years. Somebody may just loose control of himself.
‘We must do our best to overturn this tendency.’
