Kira Rudik warned the world that the next world war had already started due to the involvement of multiple countries around the globe in her country's pushback against Russia. The Ukrainian MP also claimed countries around the world were just biding their time, and preparing for a wider physical conflict to kick off.Russia has been invading neighbouring Ukraine for over four months and peace talks between the two countries have halted, as NATO-aligned countries continue to support Ukraine to help them fight off the onslaught.

Ms Rudikexclusively told Express.co.uk: "I think at the beginning of the war in Ukraine when Russia attacked us was actually the start of World War Three.

"Because if you indeed see the involvement of the countries, it's like half of the world is involved.

"And half of the world is watching, but also in some cases supporting either Ukraine or Russia.

"So it's already happening and everybody is just biding themselves time to prepare."

Ms Rudik added: "But we know that the war is inevitable, and it will because it's already happening.

"Look... The output is... We are supported by almost all European countries and by NATO allies who are sending the weapons for us to fight Russia."

Ongoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed to continue supporting Ukraine despite being ousted as Prime Minister last week.

Boris Johnson has made multiple trips to Ukraine to offer weapons, money and aid.

On Mr Johnson's last visit he promised to train 10,000 Ukrainian troops every 120 days.

Ex-NATO commander General added: "And anyone who knows the Kremlin knows that they have fought like that since 2014.

"This war did not begin on the 24th of February, it began in 2014 and we now have to catch up... Play catch up in a way to really insure that we are ready.

"And this will have profound consequences in terms of our society, our economies, our defence spending, our industrial capacity.

"And our willingness to do what needs to be done to ensure that ultimately Putin and Putinism is defeated, because there will be no peace in Europe while he lives in the Kremlin."

'Already started' Russia sparked WW3 as West 'biding their time' for on-the-ground fight - Express

The Russian leader has been implacably opposed to the western military alliance throughout his presidency. He sees the organisation as an existential threat to his regime and has even blamed it for the war in Ukraine Over the years the Russian tyrant has spent billions of rubles on developing new weapons systems to counter the military might of his Western nemesis.

These have included the development of deadly hypersonic missiles, such as the Avangard and Zircon.

Now, the Kremlin has made another addition to its arsenal of lethal weapons designed to give it the edge over NATO.

On Friday, the Russian Navy commissioned the "Belgorod" K-239 submarine at an official ceremony held at the Sevmash shipyards in the north of the country.

The 600-foot sub is the longest in the world and weighs 24,000 tonnes.

The Russians describe it as a "research" vessel that will enable them to carry out diverse scientific experiments in remote areas of the world's oceans.

However, the Belgorod's design allows it to carry one of the most lethal atomic weapons in the world - the Poseidon "doomsday" drone.

The Poseidon is a nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed intercontinental torpedo that can travel up to 5,000 nautical miles at a speed of 50-100 knots.

The forward compartment of the submarine's conning tower can accommodate half a dozen of these deadly torpedoes.

In a speech at the ceremony, Russia's Commander-in-Chief of the Navy hailed Russian scientists and engineers for their technological accomplishments.

Nikolai Evmenov said: Today is a significant day for us - the signing of the acceptance certificate for the Belgorod research submarine and its transfer to the fleet.

"When creating the ship, advanced achievements of science and the latest construction technologies were applied using the existing technical reserve."

Analysts believe it has a titanium hull, which allows it to withstand pressure at extreme depths and could potentially be used as a seabed weapon.

That is, the idea would be to pre-position the torpedo on the seabed and activate it from there rather than launching it from submarines.

The yield of its warhead could be as high as 2 megatons, which is 100 times the force packed by the Hiroshima bomb and more than 10 times that of the latest version of the B61 nuclear bomb developed by the US.

David Hambling, a technology journalist, told the website Euronews: "Atomic torpedoes have existed way, way back, certainly since about the 1950s.

"And your normal torpedo is about half a metre in diameter and weighs a few tons

"This thing is at least 1.5 m in diameter and weighs tens of tons, so it's carrying a very big warhead."

Putin unleashes new terrifying weapon as he turns the screws on NATO - WW3 fears erupt - Express

Former Japan Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe's shock assassination has sparked all kinds of wild conspiracy theories involving World War 3 fears.

The 67-year-old who was fatally shot in the back and neck as he gave a speech in the Japanese city of Nara ahead of elections this Sunday (July 10).

Despite the alleged killer telling police he gunned down Mr Abe because he was "dissatisfied" with him, the tin foil hat brigade has leapt to conclusions, claiming a larger force is at play.

READ MORE: Ex-Japan PM Shinzo Abe shot dead by 'navy vet with homemade gun' in front of crowd

Medics tried to resuscitate Mr Abe who bled 'profusely' for hours before confirming his death in the hospital he was airlifted to soon after the shooting at around 11:30am local time (3:30am UK time) on Friday.

Horrified witnesses claim the alleged shooter, Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, crept up to just a few metres behind Mr Abe before firing at his neck and back, causing him to collapse to the ground.

As the former navy veteran made a run for it, Mr Abe's security squad chased him down and were pictured launching into a heroic partnered tackle, pulling at his ankle and grappling hold of his torso.

Much remains unclear about the shooter's motive beyond his 'dissatisfaction' comment but conspiracy theorists have offered their own ideas on Twitter, suggesting it was orchestrated by the USA.

One skeptical individual tweeted: "Call me a paranoid conspiracy theory cynic but I just hope there's no black hands of Washington somewhere involved in the shooting of former PM of Japan Shinzo Abe. Its my first reaction these days based upon history.

"Meaning the USA implicating China or Russia in the shooting to crystalize Japanese / western antagonism against those nations."

Another Twitter user agreed, replying: "I think you are right to always put the CIA or some arms-length splinter cell of the US deep state on the list of suspects.

"The US national security state has been out of control for most of its history since being formed after WW2 to create beneficial chaos in peace as in war."

Popular 'Donald Trump endorsed' American author Nick Adams controversially linked the shooting to the former US President.

He said: "President Trumps allies are under attack. First Rudy Giuliani, now Shinzo Abe. The radical left will stop at nothing to ensure 45 doesn't become 47. Pray for Shinzo Abe."

Unsurprisingly Adams' "hot take" left some social media users baffled while being mocked by others.

One prankster drew a tenuous link between the shooting and the notorious assassination of Abraham Lincoln in the 19th century.

They commented on the tragedy: "Shinzo Abe's last name is the same as Abe Lincolns first name. Both were shot. Coincidence? I don't think so."

World War Three fears have been shut down by a Twitter user who admits to being "repulsed" by conspiracy theories.

They said: "I am utterly repulsed by Filipino people commenting 'WW3 is waving' after the shooting of Shinzo Abe. Clearly, you've been consuming a ton of conspiracy theories (and if I may say, disinformation even) to end up with such a prediction."

It has even been suggested China had a role to play. One theorist offered: "Quite possibly he couldve had Chinese government connections; as Abe is a very powerful politician who wants Japan to have a military and seeing as Japan having a military is one of the greatest threats to the CCP; its possible that they wouldve wanted someone like Abe dead."

Someone else said: "Im not really one for conspiracy theories but Boris Johnson resigning, Russia acting even more suspicious than usual, and Shinzo Abe being shot in one single day got me on the verge of investing in some tin foil."

Japan assassination sparks wild conspiracy theories including CIA plot to trigger WW3 - Daily Star

The ongoing war in Ukraine and the cost of living crisis dominate peoples fears. According to a regular Government poll that tracks public opinions and social trends in the UK, 78% of adults were worried about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and 74% about the rising cost of living.

That has outstripped people's immediate fears about the environment (55%), new coronavirus variants (47%), and the impact of the pandemic on their lives at present (36%). The Ukraine war - as well as contributing to the cost of living crisis by driving up fuel and energy costs - has raised the chilling prospect of World War III, and pushed relations with Russia back to the days of the Cold War.

The terrifying vision of all-out nuclear war has even been raised by threats emanating from the Kremlin. Dmitry Kiselov - the Russian TV presenter sometimes referred to as President Vladimir Putins mouthpiece - warned an underwater missile hitting the UK would produce a 500m-high tsunami and leave the nation as a radioactive desert.

At the same time, horrific images of death and destruction in Ukraine continue to be broadcast into peoples homes on the TV news. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) survey, 31% of respondents are very worried and 47% are somewhat worried about the war in Ukraine. Only 4% said they were not at all worried.

And it seems most people are preparing themselves for a long conflict - 42% of respondents believe the war will last for more than a year, while only 9% believe it will be over in between one and six months. Meanwhile, 28% of respondents said they were very worried about the rising cost of living and 46% said they were somewhat worried.

Of all those who said they had concerns about rising costs (including those who said they were neither worried nor unworried), 21% said they felt anxious about money troubles every day. And those fears are clearly justified. Around nine in 10 adults (88%) reported in June that their daily costs had risen over the past month - which was the same proportion as respondents to the same survey in May.

The most common reasons given by adults who reported increases in their weekly and daily bills were price rises when food shopping (94%), gas or electricity (85%), and fuel (77%). Almost half of adults who responded to the survey (46%) said they had reduced the amount of food they bought over the past two weeks - and the proportion of people making cuts to their shopping has increased over time. In May 44% said they had cut back on their food spending, while at the beginning of the year only 18% said they had started buying less.

People are more scared of WW3 and rising costs than global warming and Covid - Somerset Live

A lawmaker in Russia has become the latest guest on Kremlin-backed television to warn of a missile strike on a European capital, naming the city that he believes should be Moscow's first target should World War Three break out.

Andrey Gurulyov, a former deputy commander of Russia's southern military district, made the comment during a discussion about Lithuania's blockade of the neighboring Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.

Moscow has threatened to retaliate after Vilnius enforced sanctions of embargoed goods transiting and entering the Russian Baltic Sea territory.

Gurulyov dismissed the idea of supplying Kaliningrad by snatching a corridor from Belarus to Lithuania because Russian troops would be flanked on two sides by NATO.

Instead, he raised the prospect of invading the Baltic in his strategy which included reverting the Lithuanian capital Vilnius back to its former identity as Vilno, and Estonian capital Tallinn back to its tsarist identity as Reval.

Both Estonia and Lithuania are NATO countries and any invasion by Russia would trigger Article 5, potentially causing a Third World War, which Gurulyov said the west would have no stomach for.

"We'll destroy the entire group of enemy's space satellites during the first air operation, he told the program Vremya Pakazhet (Time will Tell) on Wednesday.

"No-one will care if they are American or British, we would see them all as NATO," he said, adding, that Russia would then "mitigate the entire system of anti-missile defense" and that "we certainly won't start from Warsaw, Paris or Berlin.

"The first to be hit will be London. Without doubt the threat to the world comes from the Anglo-Saxons," he said as he warned that Russia would target critically important sites that would cut off power to Europe.

He said that the U.S. would then have to tell western Europe to continue fighting "in the cold without food and electricity."

A clip of the comments was shared by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser, Anton Gerashchenko, who wrote, "London is "first to be hit" if WW3 starts, says Andrey Gurulyov, Putin's close political ally. But what about the families of Russian politicians and oligarchs who live in #London?"

Panelists on Russian state TV channels have made repeated threats of missile strikes against capitals of European countries that back Ukraine in its war with Vladimir Putin's troops.

This scenario of escalation has gained traction since Russia's successful test of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) which TV guests have emphasized can reach London in two minutes. A direct confrontation between Moscow and NATO in the Ukraine war are frequent talking points.

Gurulyov now serves as a deputy in Russia's parliament in the ruling United Russia party. He reportedly has close ties to Vladimir Putin and was one of the Duma deputies sanctioned by the United States Treasury sanctioned a month after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

He has expressed firebrand views before, telling another Kremlin propaganda channel Russia-1 this month that Russia was ready for a "big colossal war."

People are more scared of WW3 and rising costs than global warming and Covid - Wales Online

We are already in the midst of World War Three and if Vladimir Putin succeeds with his "special operation" in Ukraine "all bets are off," according to chess grand master and political activist Garry Kasparov.

Kasparov, who was beaten and arrested by Russian police for protesting in front of the courthouse where the women of the punk band Pussy Riot were on trial in 2012, said Putin threatens democracy worldwide.

"This is already World War III. And this is not just a war against Ukraine; Vladimir Putin is attacking the very foundation of the world we used to live since World War II. And if he succeeds in Ukraine, all bets are off," the 59-year-old said on podcast The Megyn Kelly Show.

At one point in the chat, host Megyn Kelly asks Kasparov whether she thinks Putin has become a "madman" who "has lost his mental faculties in a way we haven't seen before now," and the Azerbaijan-born figure says "absolutely".

"Look, he's been in power for 22 years, it's a long time even for the most intelligent person with the noblest intentions, that could be very damaging.

"And Putin was not one of these kind of guys. His education came from the streets of Leningrad and from KGB school and for the last few years he has been increasingly isolated, as every dictator he has a very small, ever-shrinking inner circle."

Kasparov added that Putin, 69, doesn't trust internet and open sources, which means he relies on information brought to him by this inner circle, and so "his vision of the world is outdated."

Kasparov added: "And Putin believes that violence is a necessary tool to rule, whether his own subjects, or imposing his will to other countries.

"That's why we should not be surprised that his favourite historical characters are Joseph Stalin and Ivan the Terrible.

"That's the way he sees himself, a man above the law. A man who is the law. He feels that with one finger he can push the red button and destroy the entire world."

Kasparov's comments come as Putin repeatedly warned that Russia has, and will use "if necessary", nuclear weapons.

"He said it already, a year ago, if we have a war all will die like dogs and we will go to heaven," the chess legend continued.

"It shows the mental instability of this person and I have been saying all along, forget about Putin, it's not about him, it's about sending a message to people around him. Those who haven't lost their minds, and who value their lives.

"Only now did the free world come to the conclusion that we are dealing with a mad man. Imagine Adolf Hitler in a Berlin bunker in 1945, imagine if he had this red button, do you have any doubts that he would push it?"

'This is already WW3' and if 'Hitler-like' Putin succeeds in Ukraine 'all bets are off' - Daily Star

Vladimir Putin is a "mad man getting madder by the moment" and could spark World War 3 according to a former Conservative MP.

As the Kremlin leader has made increased threats of nuclear attack against Europe, the former chief Treasury Secretary David Mellor said the Russian President had been corrupted by his own desire for absolute power.

Mr Mellor's analysis comes as the Kremlin has renewed threats of nuclear strikes against international allies of Ukraine, including the UK among other European nations.

The former MP, who served under former Prime Minister John Major, added to the increased anxiety which has been felt among military analysts as President Putins war in Ukraine rages on and Moscows threats of aggression against global nations continue to grow more severe.

Putin is a different kettle of fish," Mr Mellor said when appearing on GB News.

I think he really is a mad man and getting madder by the moment.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

If you ever want a good example of that, step forward Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

The former politician suggested President Putins sanity had rapidly deteriorated as the Kremlin leader has aimed to expand his power by capturing Ukraine, and the renewed focus on nuclear threats could be linked to reports that his health is in serious decline.

To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.

He added: If he really is dying of various diseases that have lined up to get him, would he like to take the rest of us with him?

Mr Mellor said that the only real defence against a nuclear attack from Russia is the promise of mutually assured destruction, meaning the UK would launch a nuclear counterattack on Moscow.

A nuclear launch would therefore effectively eradicate civilisation as we know it, creating a devastating loss on a global scale.

Mr Mellor suggested President Putins bold discussion of nuclear weapons is a signal of the Russian leaders ill-health as he is acting with little consideration for his own wellbeing.

Analysts have suggested that Vladimir Putin could be suffering from some form of terminal health condition, evidenced by several symptoms observed during his recent public appearances.

President Putin has appeared pale and unbalanced, even shown to be walking with a limp during some official events, fuelling rumours that his physical health is not as strong as the Kremlin suggests it to be.

In a Kremlin meeting on Tuesday, President Putin placed renewed focus on the Satan II nuclear missile developed by Russia.

The RS-28 Sarmat missile, also referred to as Satan II, is capable of reaching the UK shores in just three minutes.

Ukrainian media organisation Ukrainska Pravda reported information initially covered by Russian state-owned publication RIA Novosti, which recorded Putins core statements from the meeting.

President Putin said the successful testing of the Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile had been carried out and planned it to be on combat duty by the end of the year.

ASTROLOGOIST Nostradamus, who is said to have correctly foreseen the Ukraine war, apparently predicted a doomsday World War Three scenario for 2023.

The Frenchman, who has accurately predicted some major world events during the 16th century, believed that the current conflict in Eastern Europe could spark a great war.

According to the interpretation of his prophesies, he suggested the prospect of a third war world war.

Nostradamus wrote: "Seven months of the Great War, people dead of evil-doing. Rouen, Evreux shall not fall to the King."

Many of his followers believed that it could be refer to a global conflict following Vladimir Putins invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

But detailing the French city of Rouen, that sits 125 miles from the Calais, it would appear that not all places would be directly affected.

He also wrote of a "Celestial fire on the Royal edifice" with many interpreters believing it could refer to the "end of times" or the start of a new world order.

The theory comes amid a string of prophecies by the Frenchman, including when, where and how the world could dramatically end.

This year, he reportedly predicted a war in Europe despite it directly concerning the French capital of Paris, according to interpretations.

The section referring to this read: All around the great City / Will be soldiers lodged by fields and cities.

The astrologer died well over 450 years ago, but his prophecies have continued to amaze those who follow his work.

According to Yearly-Horoscope, more than 70 per cent of his 6,338prophecies have been fulfilled so far.

Many of his predictions, such as the rise to power of Adolf Hitler, World War II, the September 11 terrorist attack, the French Revolution and the development of the atomic bomb have been interpreted as being accurate.

Nostradamus also appeared to have predicted the start of the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, according to believers.

And three months into 2022, it is believed that Nostradamus predictions for the rest of the year could come to pass.

Nostradamus predicted WW3 in 2023 after correctly foreseeing Ukraine ...

Russian political scientist Sergey Mikheyev used Russia's state-controlled TV to send a nuclear warning to the West. Speaking on Russias Channel 1, he threatened that the weapons that keep reaching Ukraine will see the war in Ukraine escalate into WW3. The nuclear war is coming, he added after warning [the West] dont understand what happens next.

Speaking live on Russian state TV, Mr Mikheyev said: [The West] talk about how many more weapons are being sent and how frightening these weapons are.

They dont understand what happens next.

They all say terrible weapons are arriving over there, they keep coming and coming'.

They promised not to use them a certain way.

The claims came as US President Joe Biden announced that new weapons and aid package will be sent to Ukraine in the coming days.

In a statement, he announced that the US would send more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable [Ukrainian soldiers] to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine.

Among the weapons, long-range missiles are also believed to be part of the package that will reach Ukraine in the next few days.

The US had previously been unwilling to send these weapons out of fear that could be used against targets in Russian territory, given their ability to launch missiles at a distance of over 45 miles away.

Ukraine, however, has assured the US and confirmed it will not use the long-range missiles for those purposes.
