President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed concerns that the conflict in Ukraine could escalate into a global war, citing Russia’s involvement in conflicts around the world and its refusal to stop unless pressured by the US and China. In an interview with UK tabloid The Sun, Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of international support in preventing further escalation of the conflict.
Zelenskyy highlighted Russia’s role in training Hamas militants and its partnership with Iran, suggesting that Vladimir Putin is deliberately instigating conflicts that could spiral out of control. He warned that Ukraine is at the center of global risks and that Russia may continue to push until the US and China work together to confront the situation.
In addition to the threat posed by Russia, Zelenskyy acknowledged that Ukraine is facing challenges in garnering support from the US Congress and is unable to defend itself without assistance from Western countries. He stressed the implications of a potential defeat by Russia, warning that NATO countries could be next if Ukraine falls.
Zelenskyy’s remarks underscored the urgent need for international support in preventing further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and deterring Russia from further aggression.
