“Don’t Believe Vladimir Putin Will Use Nuclear Weapons”: Ukraine’s Zelensky

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky told German media on Wednesday that he did not believe Russia would use nuclear weapons, after President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would use all means to protect his territory.
“I do not believe that he will use this weapon,” Zelensky told the German Bild newspaper TV station, referring to nuclear weapons. “I don’t believe that the world will allow him to use this weapon.”

Ukraine leaders warned not to give up on Putin’s threat.

“Tomorrow, Putin can say – as well as Ukraine, we want part of Poland, otherwise we will use atomic weapons. We cannot make this compromise,” he said.

The Russian President’s decision to order partial mobilization is due to low morals between his troops, said Zelensky.

“He needs millions of people’s troops … He sees that most of the (troops) come to us, just run away,” he said.

Putin “wants to sink Ukraine in the blood, as well as the blood of his own troops,” said Zelensky.

Putin announced the mobilization of Wednesday morning, when Ukraine put on a lightning counterattack and reclaim the territory plots, and also hinted that Moscow could use atomic weapons for conflict.

The anexation referendum that will be held in the Ukraine area occupied by Russia is “fake referendum”, said Zelensky, adding 90 percent of the state will not recognize it.

The leader of Ukraine said his nation’s troops would continue to advance with their military campaigns and “free our territory”.

He asserted that Kyiv wanted Germany to send a battle tank to help Ukraine in the war against Russia, increasing new pressure on the government of the Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

While Berlin has sent several weapons to Ukraine, they have so far refused to transfer a very interesting tank to Kyiv.

“Give us this weapon,” said Zelensky. “Battle tank means that more people’s lives can be saved.”

He criticized the German government’s position that it did not want to “go alone”, because there was no other ally that transferred the west -made battle tanks to Ukraine.

“You are an independent country … don’t say ‘first US, then Poland, and so on’.”

Zelensky also said he was sure Putin “had lost war”.

“Since the first day of the invasion of Ukraine, he has lost this war. Nobody will forgive him.”
