Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of already kicking off a third world war and calling on the global community to help stop the invasion of Ukraine. He believes that preventing Putin from occupying Ukraine right now isn’t just a win for his country, it’s a “victory for the whole world.”
According to Politico, Zelenskyy made these strong remarks in an interview, just hours before EU foreign ministers were set to discuss further sanctions against Russia in Brussels. This timing is pretty significant, coming only a day before the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. He’s really pushing the idea that Putin won’t just stop at Ukraine, so stopping him here is crucial for global peace.
