BERLIN, (Reuters) - Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warned that tensions between Russia and European powers over the Ukraine crisis could result in a major conflict or even nuclear war, in an interview to appear in a German news magazine today.
“A war of this kind would unavoidably lead to a nuclear war,†the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize winner told Der Spiegel news magazine, according to excerpts released yesterday.
“We won’t survive the coming years if someone loses their nerve in this overheated situation,†added Gorbachev, 83. “This is not something I’m saying thoughtlessly. I am extremely concerned.â€
Tensions between Russia and Western powers rose after pro-Russian separatists took control of large parts of eastern Ukraine and Russia annexed Crimea in early 2014.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
