EXPLAINED: Russia’s Role in War in Israel and Why Ukraine is Warning of a ‘Global War’
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, believes the world is approaching a 'global war,’ highlighting Russia’s and Iran’s involvement in the war in Israel.
In October Kazakhstan offered 117 old Soviet-era combat aircraft for sale by auction and it has now been reported that the US has bought 81 of them through offshore intermediaries.

We have an upsurge and Ukraine is by far the biggest conflict right now but other than some whiffs of contagion its hard to see how this can become a global war. There have always been several conflicts ongoing at any one time. Especially during the cold war. Which wasnt ever that cold. Also Im not sure we can ignore other major protagonists who create conflicts: China and the Turkish world, the sunni/shia divide...
@Pierre Cyr,
Budanov is wrong. All militaries are well aware of and use unmanned, remote control aircraft now. The presence and use of these aircraft by hamas can surely be more accurately attributed to Iran - THE major supporter of hamas - than Russia.
Most of the Kyiv Post commentators are rather abrasive in their support of Ukraine. This is a result of their dedication to their country and I realize that, so I disregard it. Ms. Koryun pretty much just lays out the information in a calm, dignified manner. I like that.
