’I’ve survived five Putin assassination attempts... it’s like Covid, it’s get easier’, says Zelensky

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the war in Ukraine could spiral into all-out World War Three if Russia isn’t kept in check. Speaking to The Sun in Kyiv, he said Russia was trying to “light fires” of unrest around the world, including in the Gaza strip and the Balkans. In a sombre reminder of what is at stake, Zelensky warned “Ukraine is in the centre of a global risk of world war”. And the outbreak of war in Israel and Palestine isn’t helping Ukraine’s fight against Putin, he added - but the president insisted he was “trying to help from our side“. “The Israel situation doesn’t help us. But we understand it is a challenge for the world,“ he said. Zelensky also accused the Kremlin of helping Hamas launch their devastating attack on Israel last month.
