World war 3 is here. Russia announced war with NATO.

Multiple sources report escalating tensions between Russia and NATO, including military exercises, drone incursions into NATO airspace (notably Poland and Romania), and strong rhetoric from Kremlin officials describing the situation as a de facto or proxy war. For example, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have publicly stated that NATO is effectively at war with Russia through its support for Ukraine.mirror.co.ukmirror.co.ukPutin spokesman makes chilling WW3 comments as NATO 'at war with Russia'newsweek.comnewsweek.comNATO Is At War with Russia Says Kremlin, As Drone Incursions Continue in...+1 more

However, these statements reflect political positioning rather than an official declaration of war. NATO has not declared war on Russia, nor has Russia formally declared war on NATO. Instead, the conflict remains centered on Ukraine with indirect involvement from NATO countries.

Therefore, the claim overstates the current reality by presenting the conflict as an official world war rather than a highly dangerous geopolitical standoff with proxy elements.
