A Russian Nostradamus has warned that “the world is on the brink” and “terrible things can happen” as she predicts an “extremely dangerous” future in the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Kazhetta Akhmetzhanova, a self-proclaimed psychic, told Russian newspaper Moskovskij Komsomolets: “At the moment, an extremely dangerous period is coming, which will last for several months.

“The situation is very difficult at the moment. It is not by chance that world leaders have started calling our President, they understand that the world is on the brink.

“And that if they cross a certain line, terrible things can happen.”

Ms Akhmetzhanova, who in her prediction appeared to be keen on praising Russian President Vladimir Putin, went on to claim that leaders in the West will soon face consequences.

She continued: “But Russia – a great power – has already learned from bitter experience, so it will not fall for their tricks anymore.

“Our Vladimir Vladimirovich is a wise man. He sees through people, he will make balanced decisions. They will be announced in the next couple of months.”

The psychic believes that Putin will achieve his goals in Ukraine, and that the conflict will be resolved by 2025.

But, she also said: “Our enemies will periodically try to arrange certain kinds of provocations – I see that provocative actions are possible on their part until 2027.”

Her comments come as Russian President Vladimir Putin changed the Russian nuclear doctrine.

The move was carried out after US President Joe Biden gave Ukraine permission to use American weapons to strike Russian territory.

The change means Russia will consider aggression from any non-nuclear state – but with the participation of a nuclear country – a joint attack on Russia.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: “An important element of this document is that nuclear deterrence is aimed at ensuring that a potential adversary understands the inevitability of retaliation in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation or its allies.”
