Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that Russia has begun to prepare its citizens for the possibility of nuclear weapons being used against them.

They start preparing their society. He said that it was very dangerous. Zelensky thinks that his enemy is crossing a dangerous threshold by telling the public that there is a chance of a nuclear war.

They don't know how to use it. They start to talk. They don't know what to do with it. I don't think it's a good idea to talk about it.

Zelensky made a statement that was misinterpreted as an endorsement of pre-emptive nuclear strikes against Russia. He said that it was very imprudent to wait for the nuclear strikes first and emphasized the importance of deterrence with preventative strikes.

He told the British Broadcasting Corporation that he was not advocating for nuclear escalation but more diplomatic tools, such as increased sanctions on Russia. Zelensky said that you must use preventative kicks.

Zelensky made an appeal to start another world war, according to the Kremlin.

Zelensky said that the cost of the war against Russia should be raised by Western countries. If there is a unified global opposition, there is a chance that Russia will surrender.

Zelensky said the world can stop the actions of Russians.

The world can do everything it can to get them to leave the nuclear power plant.

A major blow to the Kremlin's campaign in Ukraine was dealt on Saturday when an explosion disabled a bridge used for transporting military supplies. Ukrainian officials said that the blast would give them the advantage and that it was not responsible for it. Zelensky, the adviser to the head of the office, treated it as a continuation of his country's fight to regain its territory, which included the annexation of Crimea by the Russians.

The beginning isCrimea. Everything illegal must be destroyed, everything stolen must be returned to Ukraine, and everything occupied by Russia must be thrown out.

Russia could use nuclear weapons to try to forceUkraine's defeat. Russian forces have retreated in the last few days as Ukrainian forces have begun to advance north of the peninsula. He might resort to nuclear weapons in desperation.

President Biden said on Thursday that we have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

He doesn't think there is a way to use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon.
