North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has warned that the world is on the brink of a third global conflict, accusing the United States of escalating tensions and provocations. Kim highlighted the unprecedented risks of nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula and criticised Washington's 'aggressive and hostile' stance toward Pyongyang. Despite multiple meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump during his first term, Kim pointed to a lack of concrete results from the negotiations. Simultaneously, Russian Premier Vladimir Putin issued a stark warning to the West after a successful ICBM test aimed at Ukraine, signaling Russia's readiness for any developments in the ongoing global tensions.
