Russia PM warns foreign offensive in Syria could spark ‘world war’
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warns that if Arab forces enter the Syrian war, they could spark a “new world war” and urges ceasefire talks instead.
“The Americans and our Arabic partners must think hard about this: do they want a permanent war?” he is quoted as telling the German Handelsblatt business daily. “Do they really think they would win such a war very quickly?”
He adds: “All sides must be forced to the negotiating table instead of sparking a new world war.”
