Putin Has Already Started World War III, Zelensky Says
He maintained that Ukraine’s resistance is serving as a barrier against a wider international confrontation.
Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has declared that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has “already started” what could amount to a third world war, warning that Ukraine is currently standing as the frontline defence against a broader global conflict.
He made this comment on X on Monday while addressing the escalating tensions sparked by Russia’s invasion of his country. Zelensky said there are ‘different views on World War III,’ but stressed his personal conviction that the conflict is already underway.
“There are different views on World War III. I believe Putin has already started it,” he said.
The Ukrainian leader framed the ongoing war not merely as a regional conflict, but as a battle with far-reaching global implications.
He posed what he described as the central question for the international community: ‘How much territory can he seize, and how to stop him?”
Zelensky argued that the stakes go beyond preventing a Russian military victory. According to him, the deeper concern is Moscow’s broader ideological ambition.
“Not to prevent Russia from winning, but because Russia wants to impose its own world and change people’s lives, which they like and choose for themselves,” he said.
Reiterating his long-held position, Zelensky added: “That is why I believe, and have long believed, that Putin has already started this war.”
He maintained that Ukraine’s resistance is serving as a barrier against a wider international confrontation.
“And we are preventing him from turning this into a broader, full-scale World War III. Today, we are the outpost stopping Putin,” the Ukrainian president stated.
Zelensky’s remarks come amid continued fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces, with global powers closely monitoring developments due to fears of further escalation.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has led to widespread deaths and destruction.
Despite repeated meetings between the two countries aimed at ending the conflict, no resolution has been reached to bring it to a complete halt.
