The Kremlin has warned that 'the end of the world is upon us.'
VladimirPutin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov hit out at a breakdown in 'international law.'
The doom-laden warning for the planet came amid massive US andIsraelistrikes onIran, which the Kremlin labelled a 'perfect storm.'
Russiaappears helpless to assist Tehran except possibly in providing intelligence on American and Israeli military positions.
Putin's mouthpiece said: 'There have been worse things in human history… but we weren't alive then, so it seems to us that the end of the world is upon us.'
Amid the war in the Middle East, Putin, who illegally invaded Ukraine four years ago, believes 'we have all lost what we call international law', said Peskov.
'To be honest, I don't even understand how anyone can call on others to follow the norms and principles of international law. It no longer exists.'
