Investing.com -- Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed worry about growing global conflict potential when asked if he was concerned the world was heading towards World War Three.
Speaking at an economic forum in St Petersburg on Friday, Putin said there was significant conflict potential in the world that continues to increase.
"It is disturbing. I am speaking without any irony, without any jokes. Of course, there is a lot of conflict potential, it is growing, and it is right under our noses, and it affects us directly," Putin said.
The Russian leader mentioned several ongoing conflicts, including Russia’s war in Ukraine and tensions between Israel and Iran. He also expressed concern about activities around nuclear facilities in Iran, where Russian specialists are constructing two new nuclear reactors for Tehran.
Putin emphasized that the situation "requires, of course, not only our careful attention to the events taking place, but also the search for solutions, the search for solutions, preferably by peaceful means, in all directions."
