This opinion was expressed by Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Valery Chaly on Channel 24. According to him, World War III should not be considered a pure war.

Chaly: The Third World War is informational and economic

According to Chaly, people perceive World War III literally. However, it has already begun, but in different aspects - not only militarily, as in Ukraine.

“World War III has begun. We have a hot phase here. Military actions. But in the world it has been developing in different directions - information and economy”, he explained.

As for China's "game," according to the former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, the Americans fired a warning salvo in the direction of China due to an alleged leak of information in the media.

"A single word that China might be on Russia's side immediately sent Chinese companies' stocks plummeting. The United States can, if it wants, react very sharply to any attempt to help Putin," Chaly said.
