Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 18 warned that the Ukraine-Russia conflict could morph into a “full-scale” war with NATO that could spark World War III.  He made the remarks shortly after securing another six-year term in office.

Mr. Putin said he would continue the conflict even if NATO gets involved.
