Kadyrov: taking into account the countries involved, the conflict in Ukraine can be considered the third world

According to him, a number of European countries and the NATO bloc are taking part in the conflict.

“If we call these ... states the world community, then we can say this is the third world war,” RIA Novosti quotes Kadyrov’s statement during a live broadcast on his assistant’s social network.

The head of Chechnya stressed that large states such as China, India and Pakistan do not take part in the conflict.

Earlier, Kadyrov said that more than 21,000 Chechen fighters have taken part in the special military operation since its inception.
