Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the third World War or another global war would mean the "end of the world or civilization". The President was talking in a television show. He also added that realization of the possibility of the third World War should restrict countries of the world from engaging or flaring up conflicts.

President Putin also quoted Albert Einstein for defending his statement on World War III. He said during the talk show that “I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

President Putin's statement comes at a time when there are various conflicts going on in Russia's neighbourhood. Considering the Donald Trump and Kim Jong un meeting scheduled for June 12 and Russian President Vladimir Putin's comment on the scale of destruction that can be caused due to another global or World War, it should dawn upon countries that the world is better without another global or any war.
