President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned about the threat of Russia attacking other countries and commented on Russian President Vladimir Putin's attempts to "historically" justify his expansionist policies and wars of aggression, according to an interview with the Ukrainian president given to Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro.
Commenting on one of the Kremlin's propaganda claims that Ukraine and Ukrainians do not exist, Zelenskyy urged not to pay attention solely to Putin's desires.
"It is not serious to speak to such a large country that it does not exist. You know, there's kind of tens of millions of people living here in Ukraine, and there are tens of millions of Ukrainians living around the globe. And that many Ukrainians will not allow him to change history. He wants that, but that's impossible," the president emphasized.
Zelenskyy emphasized that every time it comes to tens of millions of people, it is impossible to keep this in the shadows and rewrite everything.
Putin's attempts to rewrite the history of the entire world
"He can control the information flow in his country totally. And this is where he rewrites the history of the whole world, and I can assure you his ambitions will grow," the Ukrainian president warned.
According to him, if Ukraine does not hold out, Putin will move further in his expansionist war.
"And surely already he has the textbooks of history that tell who is the real owner of the territory of Poland, Hungary, etc. So he will move on. That's why I told you that's pragmatic. We need to stop Putin in order not to take any risk," Zelenskyy said.
Therefore, the President of Ukraine added, they discussed NATO, your families, and Europeans.
"Why should the world take any risks for not taking a risk for people? Not to be in fear, you need to stop them. We need to stop him for not destroying us. We are fighting for um our survival and you are fighting not only for our survival but for your risks for these possible but large risks," Zelenskyy added.
Question regarding Putin's preparation for expanding the war in Europe
Earlier, representatives from various intelligence agencies had already warned about the intentions of the Russian President to expand military aggression in Europe.
For instance, according to German intelligence, the Russian authorities are most likely preparing for a large-scale war against NATO. The report indicated that Putin views relations with the West as a systemic conflict and is prepared to use force to achieve his objectives.
German intelligence also pointed out that by the end of the decade, Russia could be fully prepared for a large-scale conventional war.
However, according to an assessment by Lithuania's VSD intelligence service, the Kremlin currently cannot attack the entire Alliance. However, the Russians could test NATO with a small military operation against one or several countries in the bloc, thereby gauging how seriously the Alliance would take its obligations.
Earlier, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda stated that Russia could launch a new attack in just a few years. In his opinion, Lithuania has four to five years to prepare.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys stated that the NATO intelligence community concluded that Russia represents a long-term military threat to the Alliance, and consequently, to the entire North Atlantic security, including the US.
Additionally, in April, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy expressed concerns about the real threat of a world war due to Russia's aggression. He noted that if Ukraine, with the support of its allies, does not firmly resist further military advancement by the Russian army, Putin will move further.
