Ukraine President Zelensky Calls On NATO To Launch A Pre-Emptive Strike Against Russia To Prevent The Kremlin From Using Nuclear Weapons In Ukraine

 

Daily Mail: Kremlin seizes on Zelensky 'blunder' after Ukraine President demands NATO 'launch pre-emptive strikes' on Russia to stop Putin using nukes - before insisting he meant 'imposing sanctions' pre-invasion as Kyiv troops hammer Moscow forces into retreat 

* Zelensky appeared to suggest NATO should launch a series of preemptive strikes against Russian territory 

* Russia said the comments risked 'monstrous consequences' and appeared to call for 'yet another world war' 

* Kyiv later insisted Zelensky was referencing preemptive sanctions and 'would never call for use of nukes' 

The Kremlin has warned of potentially 'monstrous consequences' after Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to suggest NATO powers should bomb Russia to deter Vladimir Putin from using nuclear weapons against Ukraine. 

Russia said such comments risked starting 'yet another world war' after the Ukrainian president seemed to tell Australian think tank the Lowy Institute that he believed 'preemptive strikes' on Russian territory were necessary. 

However Kyiv later insisted he was actually calling for 'preemptive sanctions', just as he did 'before February 24', when the invasion was launched.

WNU Editor: These remarks are insane. This is how World War 3 will start. The Ukraine government is walking back President Zelensky's remarks on a pre-emptive strike. But he was very clear on what he said and what he wants. 

The complete remarks by Ukraine President Zelensky at the Lowy institute is below:
