Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov tells the Western alliance they are making a mistake by engaging, which could result in World War 3 if they don't change course. Lavrov said if the global powers get involved in Ukraine, their consequences will be grave.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin placed his nuclear forces on high alert should NATO or the US bring similar weapons to the front.

Putin Orders Special Mode of Combat Duty

Moscow, expressing that a nuclear option exists that will not leave any winners, reminded the nations against them, reported the Express UK.

He stressed the Kremlin does want to prevent it, but the consequence would be on the western leaders if they decide on a full-on nuclear escalation.

Earlier, Putin has issued commands to emplace and keep Russian "deterrent forces" on a special mode of combat duty, noted NBC News. No one knows the extent of the command, which could include the nuclear arsenal.

He made the statement after foreign diplomats staged a walkout before starting at the UN Human Rights Council conference. A total of 100 or more foreign service officers did not listen to the reason for the Ukraine incursion last Tuesday.

Blaming it on Kyiv, the Russian foreign minister said Moscow could not allow it and alleged that Ukraine was trying to get nukes, which he interpreted as a threat to Russia, leaving them with no option, but to carry out a special operation, as ordered by Putin himself, which might lead to World War 3.

Previously concessions for securing Russia would have sufficed, but western leaders were insincere using Kyiv as a pawn to influence NATO. He added that all fault is on Zelensky's regime that chose provocative action, which is a threat to its neighbor. Next, they would be assisted by the US and NATO, but getting nuclear weapons is the last straw.

Furthermore, Ukraine's Soviet nuclear systems are still in place to facilitate its use on Moscow, which the Kremlin will not allow.

Zelensky pursued this course of action to bring forces closer to nuclear Armageddon. It could be missed that cronies of US president Joe Biden like the UK, Japan, and the EU were prominent objectors.

But Venezuela, China, and Syria remained to hear the Russian speech.

Diplomats Walkout on Russia's Speech

Ukrainian ambassador Yevheniia Filipenko initiated the walkout, which the others followed. She politicked further by saying that Ukraine is fighting for independence, cited Al Jazeera.

These countries unfairly called Lavrov's speech as misinformation that deserved a just forum.

Similarly, Katharina Stasch, the German ambassador, called out the Russian officials' claims as false and called them distorted facts.

Lavrov used video conferencing to appear before the UN Human Rights Council as uncalled for and outrageous. His right to represent Russia was not possible because his plane could not fly in EU airspace, as the bloc banned flights from Russia.

No one knows if Vladimir Putin will call his threat to go nuclear, but the west's action made it a possibility.

The existing threat could have been prevented, and he dared the west face the consequences of their decisions. To this effect, Russian foreign minister Lavrov asserts the western alliance if they were ready for World War 3, and Moscow is prepared to defend itself against the alliance.
