- Ukraine’s president warned that a Russian invasion could spark a “fully-fledged” European war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday warned that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could spark a “fully-fledged” European war, according to multiple reports.
“This is not going to be a war of Ukraine and Russia,” Zelensky said while hosting UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Kyiv. “This is going to be a European war. A fully-fledged war.”
“No one is going to give away territory any longer,” Zelensky added, the report said.
Zelensky’s comments come after he accused the West on Friday of causing “panic” over the threat of a Russian invasion. The Ukrainian president expressed concerns that the rhetoric surrounding the crisis was threatening to destabilize his country’s economy.
“There are signals even from respected leaders of states, they just say that tomorrow there will be war,” he said at a press conference, the BBC reported. “This is panic — how much does it cost for our state?”
Russia has gathered roughly 100,000 troops on the border of Ukraine. The Kremlin says it doesn’t have plans to invade, but has resisted calls from Western leaders to pull its troops and lower the temperature.
Moscow has a history of aggression toward Ukraine. In 2014, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea from Ukraine. And since that year, the Kremlin has supported separatists in a war against Ukraine in the eastern Donbass region.
But Russia has blamed the recent tensions on NATO, accusing the alliance of not respecting its red lines in the region.
Along these lines, Moscow has made demands for binding security guarantees from the West — including barring Ukraine and Georgia from ever joining NATO. The alliance and the US have been adamant that this demand is a non-starter, underscoring that NATO’s open door policy is non-negotiable.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday accused the US and NATO of ignoring Moscow’s security concerns. He also warned that admitting Ukraine to NATO could lead to a war between Russia and the Western military alliance. If Ukraine was part of NATO, other members would be obligated to defend it based on the alliance’s core principles.
Despite Putin’s rhetoric, there are no signs that Ukraine will become a NATO member at any point in the near future.
Ukraine has sought to join NATO for years, and has a robust partnership with the alliance. But NATO hasn’t taken key steps that would put Ukraine on track to become a member, and the alliance isn’t in a rush to change that.
The Biden administration has signaled that issues like corruption are holding Ukraine back from becoming a member, though experts say the delay is also part of an effort to avoid provoking Moscow.
Since it’s not a NATO member, Biden has ruled out sending troops into Ukraine in the event of a Russian military incursion. But the US has warned Moscow that it would face major economic consequences if Russian troops invade Ukraine.
During a phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken “urged immediate Russian de-escalation and the withdrawal of troops and equipment from Ukraine’s borders,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said.
“[Blinken] emphasized that further invasion of Ukraine would be met with swift and severe consequences and urged Russia to pursue a diplomatic path,” Price added.
If the Zionist-Communist Cryptocrats start a new war, via their various Chabad-Lubavitch agents (Johnsnon, Biden, Putin, Zalensky, Lukashenko et al) the white gentiles will further idiotically decimate their own race, while millions of Afro-Asian apes & mongrel migrants continue pouring into the West/Europe to ‘replace’ them & search for white pussy to impregnate with their simian seed..
Notice its only & always Europe that is the main battlefield for these major Jew instigated wars..
Putins military can only laugh about
Nato . its a fat officedesktiger !
REMEMBER…..
Both the Ukrainian AND British leadership are JEWS.
This fact is NOT a conspiracy theory but stone cold fact.The Deputy British PM is even a religious jew and not just an ethnic jew (Raab).
Then there is the question concerning Putin….up until now there has been no solid evidence that Putin is a tribesman…..but it is a distinct possibility.
The outbreak of war would suit Johnstein perfectly…..it COULD make him the 21st Century version of the alcoholic Winstein Churchill……otherwise Johnstein along with his satanic wife could be ousted.
Starmer is without doubt a crypto jew.
Zelensky said this because Boris told him to say it. While the US is involved in Ukraine and of course, Biden has his fingers in the honey, it is the UK who setting the agenda on the ground.
The UK deep state would love a big war in Europe, and as usual, the UK will drag the US in to it.
I live in London, & I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest, if Russia nuked London and forever ended this 400 plus year imperialist machine which has caused so much suffering.
Zelensky is a Jew and a clown.
Sounds like Zelensky is getting cold feet. He now sees that the Russians mean business. It’s not panning out at all as his MI6 handlers promised.
Which means that Zelensky may be reaching the end of his usefulness. He should stay out of tall buildings …
Dear russian Invaders ! We the People of Western Europe have no Businesswith u! If u think we are your enemy ure wrong . Come and free the Countries of Europe from our false political Leaders. Go for them Every one of them should be judged and held responsible for their Crimes against Humanity! not only the TPTB now but back all of them for the last 100 Years! Pls come and free us, the innocent Peoples, for there we dont agree with their dirty Actions they put on us the whole last Century and eventually much longer!! come on damned sheeple u have to awake or u all be sacrificed for the dirty money!!!!
> The Biden administration has signaled that issues like corruption are holding Ukraine back from becoming a member
Not corrupt enough?
> I live in London, & I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest, if Russia nuked London
I beg to differ. You WOULD be surprised – right before you were incinerated.
> The UK deep state would love a big war in Europe, and as usual, the UK will drag the US in to it.
LOL. The US is always so very unwilling to start a war that it takes the UK to drag them kicking and screaming into one.
Let’s hope someone puts a bullet in boris while he’s out pretending that he matters – or better yet, shoves a grenade down his throat.
Sounds gruesomely eerily very much like (another) prelude to fraudulent human sacrifice.
Bloodlust and the usual demonic possession will no doubt ensue..
Kill Boris: you’re DEAD wrong. There’s not much that surprises me. I am fully aware that there’s a real chance Russia will play all of its cards, if the analysis says this is an inevitable position. Of course, there could be many routes to this point and on various timescales, but if they all end up with a nuclear conflagration, then Russia might well go first.
Putin has made it very, very clear, he cannot envisage a world without Russia… that is a Russia as a strong independent sovereign state, which is not living in constant fear.
