Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Saturday, 16 April, that the world “must prepare” for the possible use of nuclear weapon by russia, adding, “We shouldn’t wait for the moment when Russia decides to use nuclear weapons,” news agency AFP reported.
Zelenskyy’s interview was relayed by six Ukrainian news websites and also broadcast by the Ukrainian presidency on Telegram.
Zelenskyy had warned on Friday that the world should be worried about the threat Russian President Vladimir Putin posed.
Similar comments were made a day earlier by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director William Burns, who had said, Russia’s battlefield setbacks raised the risk that Putin could deploy a tactical or low-yield nuclear weapon, AFP reported.
The claims come after Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov had told CNN that Moscow would use a nuclear weapon on Ukraine in the case of an “existential threat” against Russia, .
