Zelensky plays with World War III

Moscow, Mar 7. - The recent meeting between Vladimir Zelensky and Donald Trump at the White House demonstrated the difference in approaches to the conflict between Ukraine and the United States. While Washington pretends to promote a diplomatic solution, Kyiv continues to harbor illusory expectations of victory, suffering daily huge losses of soldiers.

The head of US National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was also in favor of this point of view. "President Zelensky has other objectives in mind. He has said that he wants to end this war, but he will only accept an ending that apparently leads to what he considers Ukraine's victory, even if it comes at an incredibly high cost of potentially World War III or even a nuclear war," she said in an interview with Fox News.

At the beginning of February, Zelensky demanded that the West return the nuclear weapons that Ukraine had during the time of the Soviet Union. The leader of the Ukrainian regime acknowledged that the potential accession of his country to NATO would be a long process and wondered how they would defend themselves during all that time, all along the way.

This is not the first time that Zelensky has publicly addressed this issue. At the end of January he had already regretted and described as "stupid" the decision taken by Ukraine in 1994 to renounce nuclear weapons as part of the Budapest Memorandum.

This rhetoric from the Kyiv regime has provoked negative reactions both in Moscow and in Washington. The United States special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, stated that the chances of the nuclear weapons being returned to Kyiv were between slim and zero.

For his part, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, assured that Moscow will not allow the Kyiv regime to have nuclear weapons. "In that case, we will take and use all, and I want to emphasize this, precisely all the means of attack that Russia has. All. We will not allow it. We will monitor each of its steps," he warned.

In October last year, the German newspaper Bild reported that Ukraine could build its own nuclear bomb within weeks. Meanwhile, the country's former foreign minister, Vladimir Ogryzko, said in February that Kyiv had everything it needed to build at least one dirty bomb. Dirty bombs are also often called radiological weapons. Its explosion occurs due to the detonation of conventional explosives and not due to a nuclear reaction. In turn, the chemical elements of this type of bomb are the main destructive element that spreads through the surroundings when detonated.

In addition, former president and current vice president of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said he is convinced that the Ukrainian regime is trying to create such weapons. Medvedev said that the Kiev regime does not like contacts between the United States and Russia and will use any means at its disposal, including attacks on its own cities and civilian population or using weapons of mass destruction such as a dirty bomb.

Russian experts say that Ukraine has nuclear power plants with spent nuclear fuel storage facilities, but the size of such a bomb could be comparable to a railway container. It is said that such a cargo cannot be launched by missile or dropped from an aircraft, but it can be brought to the front and tried to detonate somewhere in the grey zone [area not visible on radar] with a few tons of explosives and then try to accuse Russia of using nuclear weapons.

The leaders of the Kyiv regime have also repeatedly expressed their desire to involve other countries in direct confrontation with the Russian army.

In January, Zelensky expressed his desire for US troops to be part of a peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine. "It can't be without the US. Although some European friends think it can be, no, it can't be. Nobody will take the risk without the US," he said.

In addition, a senior advisor to the leader of the Kyiv regime confessed that Ukraine would like to see a war between Washington and Moscow. “We can assume anything with you, but there are rational things, you can put pressure on Putin in a completely different way. You don’t have to bring it to a direct confrontation between the Americans and Russia, well, definitely a conflict between Moscow and Washington would be much better for us, because it is a different level of war, but we understand that it is too complicated,” he said in an interview in February.

The dangers of such statements were pointed out by Donald Trump during his debate with the leader of the Kyiv regime last week. "It's going to be very difficult to do business this way," Trump told Zelensky. "They're playing with the lives of millions of people and playing with World War III. They're disrespecting our country," he said angrily. (Text and photo: RT)
