World War III 'will happen' if Russia beats Ukraine | LBC analysis

As Ukraine's Prime Minister warns there 'will be World War III' if Ukraine loses its conflict with Russia, Andrew Marr speaks to Lord Nick Houghton, Former Chief of the Defence Staff and Professor Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at Oxford.

In an interview with the BBC in Washington, Denys Shmyhal spoke on the need for US security assistance, stressing: "We need this money yesterday, not tomorrow, not today.

"If we will not protect... Ukraine will fall. So the global, the global system of security will be destroyed... and all the world will need to find... a new system of security.

"Or, there will be many conflicts, many such kinds of wars, and in the end of the day, it could lead to the Third World War."

If Ukraine is given a billion trillion dollars, not even that can help them.

[davel]

Russia isn’t at war with Ukraine it’s at war with the USA Britain and the EU but I don’t remember Putin threatening any of those countries.

[kevinjewitt]

The mistake we made was educating the masses. The men and women of fighting age will not give their lives for a corrupt country like ours unlike their naive ancestors.

[brothercaleb]

“When all fails, they take you to war”

[scar]

How about talking about peace deal instead of trying to defeat Russia?

[oebechk]

what a clown show all MSM in the UK has become

[zlatysmola]

Remember when Westminster welcomed Zelensky like clapping seals ..

Been another huge scam

[edwardlyons]

To properly understand the Nato-backed Ukraine/Russia conflict, I recommend people listen to Professor Mearsheimer, Scott Ritter, US (Retired) Colonel Douglas Macgregor and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges, and even the Pope. LBC Mr Marr's above narrative and tone reminds me of Chris Hedges stating "When 'the West' goes to war, the MSM Media falls into line with its 'Patriotic Cheerleading'."

[shirwanomer]

You have so far given Ukraine more than $100 billion; what limited support are you talking about? why don’t you just admit the fact that it was deemed a catastrophic failure right from day one?!

[gabbssenior]

"Defending the international rule of law"...what a joke.

[traviscutler]

Or they could have spared hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives by just making a deal 3 years ago when they had the upper hand. No one wins against a nuclear powered country, it's lunacy to try this militarily

[nazirahmed]

why nato pushing towards war when there is option of ceasefire and open up dialogue with all the party’s involve, again usa using nato to protect is own empire with no interest in heart for the citizens of Europe who will suffer the consequences.Europe needs to wake-up before it’s to late.

[tarlkoroban]

Let's have a referendum to find out if the British people want to keep sending billions of pounds to Ukraine.

[munnychinni]

British propaganda and war mongering 😂😂

[Irene-imxi]

Ukraine could have had peace by now if Boris Johnson hadn't gone over in 2022 to tell them not to agree a peace deal. Whenever Boris Johnson has an idea everyone knows this idea will lead to catastrophe. Unfortunately for the Ukranians they weren't aware of this.

[prazzy]

Let’s be honest here. Russia never brought military hardware near European borders. NATO expanded out to threaten Russian on its borders. This war has been disastrous for Ukraine, and the sad thing is, it’s been totally unnecessary. Ukraine could have had peace in exchange for neutrality and agreement they wouldn’t join NATO. Now the country is shafted.

[JohnJones-skqp]

Zelensky should never have listened to Boris Johnson. Russia said no NATO on their doorstep, Ukraine has been sacrificed.

[GlynRyles]

Ukraine are only still in the game with so many more dead because of the massive amount of financial and military support they have received from Western countries, if they had been left to their own devices they would have capitulated and this was would have been over in 2022, tens of thousands of people would still be alive and peace would most likely be prevailing in the region by now.

[mikejohn]

Soo... You finally admit that this is a proxy war not a Ukraine war 😂😂😂😂 after 2yrs

[lordsway]

Nobody will fight for your egos try and see people have been very patient
