WWIII would come if Russian tanks get to Kyiv says Crosetto

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 27 - The Third World War could come if Russian tanks were to reach Kyiv, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said on the Ukraine war's possible escalation on Friday, responding to threats from Moscow of escalation after Western heavy tank shipments.
    "World War III would start the moment Russian tanks arrived in Kiev and on the borders of Europe. Making sure they do not arrive is the only way to stop World War III," said Crosetto during an event in Rome. (ANSA).
