RUSSIA has launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump for his “reckless actions” following a recent airstrike on Bashar al-Assad’s war-torn nation, it has emerged.
Yury Filatov, Moscow’s ambassador to Ireland, issued the horrifying warning and slammed the recent strike as a “dangerous development” as fears of World War 3 spike.
He declared: "We have to state that the situation around Syria has deteriorated significantly.
"Obviously that is the result of the reckless actions by Washington, London and Paris.
"What is going right now is they are making every effort possible to look for the face-saving exit of the situation they themselves created.”
Mr Filatov continued to blast the UK, France and the USA by accusing all three of trying to “whitewash their action” following the successful strike in Syria.
He went on: "They are trying to whitewash their action. There is pretty much smoke around the whole thing.
"We have to call things for what they really are.
“The fact remains that on April 14 the United States, supported by the UK and France, launched an air strike against military and civilian targets in Syria.”
The Russian ambassador expressed the Kremlin’s fury by labelling the recent attack on the war-torn nation an “act of
aggression” during a period of already dangerously frosty relations between the US and Moscow.
Mr Filatov stated: "That was an act of aggression against a sovereign state.
“It was done without mandate from the United Nations Security Council and in clear violation of the UN charter or any other conceivable international law.
"We certainly condemn that in most resolute terms."
The man from Moscow hinted that nations could be dragged into a third world war by commenting that the recent act in Syria “brought the whole situation to the brink of a wider conflict”.
He explained: "The attack we have witnessed (air strikes) certainly brought the whole situation to the brink of a wider conflict which is in nobody's interests."
The stark warning from the Russian official comes after a former army general from Moscow stated nuclear war is “inevitable”.
Evgeny Buzhinskiy, a retired Lieutenant-General, declared the current situation is “worse than the cold war”.
He told Channel 4 News: “I think it’s worse than the Cold War, which we have been waging for 40 years after the Second World War.
“In the Cold War time I was in the armed forces and I was quite comfortable I’d say.
“There were definite duels and definite red lines – everybody knew what to do.”
