World Will Not Allow Putin to Launch Nuclear Weapons, but It Is Risky - Zelensky

Wednesday, 21 September 2022

President Volodymyr Zelensky does not believe that the international community will allow Vladimir Putin to use nuclear weapons. Still, he did not rule out risks, as "it is impossible to look into Putin's head."

"I do not believe that he will launch this weapon. I do not believe that the world will allow him to launch it," President Zelensky said in an interview with Bild.

At the same time, he does not rule out the possibility that Putin will decide to launch a nuclear attack. "We cannot look into this person's head. But it is risky," Zelensky said.

However, according to him, one should not give in to Putin's threats.

"Tomorrow, Putin can say: in addition to Ukraine, we also want a part of Poland. Otherwise, we will use nuclear weapons. We cannot compromise like that," the president noted.

After announcing partial mobilization in the Russian Federation, President Vladimir Putin once again threatened Western countries with the nuclear weapons.

British Defence Minister Ben Wallace called Putin's latest decisions to mobilise parts of the population an admission that Russia's invasion is failing.

US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink called the decision of the Russian Federation "a sign of weakness and failure."
