Zelenskyy warns: if Putin fails to win in Ukraine, he will attack other countries

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an interview with the French TV channel BFMTV, expressed serious concern regarding the future actions of the Russian leadership. The head of the Ukrainian state warned that in the event of failure in the war against Ukraine, Vladimir Putin might resort to a new escalation and attempt to occupy other territories.

"Very dangerous" scenario

According to Zelenskyy, if Moscow does not achieve victory, the Russian leader will become "very dangerous, not only for us." The President of Ukraine emphasized that the aggressor may try to involve more countries in the conflict, continuing to kill people in other regions.

"He will try to occupy another place, other people, and kill again, kill people," Zelenskyy stated, commenting on potential threats to global security.

The illusion of a ceasefire

Responding to questions about a possible cessation of hostilities, the President noted that a ceasefire is theoretically possible, but at the moment, achieving it is extremely difficult. Zelenskyy pointed out that one of the parties — Russia — is not interested in ending the fighting.

"We need to put an end to this war. And there is one side — Russia — that does not want this. They only demonstrate this in words," the head of state emphasized.

Zelenskyy also called Vladimir Putin a liar regarding the possible ceasefire, noting that the Kremlin leader wants nothing but victory.

Nuclear threats and escalation of rhetoric

Against the backdrop of these statements, it should be noted that the Russian leadership continues to use nuclear weapons as a tool of pressure. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, previously stated that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons if its existence is threatened.

Peskov also claimed that the special military operation was originally planned as a limited action, but due to Western interference, it turned into a full-scale war. These statements only increase tension and confirm Zelenskyy's concerns regarding the further escalation of the conflict.
