Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims that Putin has already started the third world war and that Russia wants to impose a new way of life.

In an interview for the BBC, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that Vladimir Putin has already triggered the third world war and that it is essential to stop it quickly. Zelensky emphasized that Russia wants to impose a different way of life on the world and change people's choices. Regarding Russia's demands to cede 20% of the Donetsk region and other territories, Zelensky rejected the idea, considering it a weakening of Ukraine's positions and an abandonment of the inhabitants of those areas. He warned that such a concession would not bring lasting peace, but only a temporary pause for Russia. Zelensky reaffirmed that his goal is to win the war and restore normalcy for Ukrainians, emphasizing that Putin's threat extends beyond Ukraine's borders.
