JPM - Ukraine's Zelenskyy Warns Of World War If Russia Attacks A NATO Country: 'It Concerns European Leaders And The US' | Benzinga
In a recent interview, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a stark warning about the potential for the ongoing conflict with Russia to escalate into a global conflict. He has also called for increased support from Western nations.
What Happened: Zelenskyy, in an interview with German state broadcaster ARD on Sunday, expressed his concerns about the Ukraine conflict potentially spiraling into a global conflict, reported Reuters. He emphasized the need for support from countries such as Germany and the United States.
“It seems to me that the Chancellor (Olaf Scholz) is aware of this risk,” Zelenskyy said, adding that if Russia were to attack a NATO country, it could mark “the beginning of the Third World War.”
When asked about Germany’s decision not to provide Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles, Zelenskyy expressed his disappointment, stating that Germany had not fulfilled its role during the initial occupation of Ukraine.
He also criticized the West’s response to Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014, stating that it was not just about Germany but also about European leaders and the U.S.
“It’s not just about Olaf Scholz,” he said.
“It concerns European leaders and the U.S.”
