Mystic Baba Vanga made shocking predictions for Putin and Europe in 2025

The famous Bulgarian mystic has previously predicted events such as 9/11 and even her own death in 1996.

Her predictions and their accuracy have become the stuff of legend as she predicted the Chornobyl disaster in Ukraine, the death of Princess Diana and her own death in August of 1996.

The latest batch of Vanga's predictions strike a bit too close to home and share an eerie similarity with events currently going on in the world.

She spoke of the demise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, as well as a war that would bring "destruction" to the West.

Vanga said: "In the spring, a war in the East will begin and there will be a third World War. A war in the East that will destroy the West."

She predicted that Putin would become "lord of the world" and that Europe would turn into a "wasteland." Other predictions she made for this year including encounters with aliens.

While her premonitions are not absolute fact, it is hard to ignore given the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Earlier this week British troops were warned that they must be ready to go to war with Russia should things escalate.

Meanwhile, should a ceasefire be agreed then there is a possibility that Irish Defence Forces could be deployed on peacekeeping missions in Ukraine.

Tensions continue to bubble as US President Donald Trump recently labelled Volodymyr Zelenskyy "a dictator" and blamed Ukraine for starting the conflict with Putin's Russia.
