 One of Vladimir Putin's closest allies has warned the 'completely crazy West' its continued support for Ukraine risks fully-fledged war with Russia. Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and now deputy chairman of the powerful security council, said 'World War Three is getting closer'.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the biggest risk is Vladimir Putin winning the war, which he described as being 'a tragedy for Ukraine' but 'a danger to us'. Russia, which says NATO's eastward expansion is an existential threat to its own security, swiftly lashed out at the proposals. Writing on the Telegram messaging app, Mr Medvedev said: 'The completely crazy West could not come up with anything else… In fact, it's a dead end. World War Three is getting closer.
