President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he fears Russia’s three-year war on Ukraine could escalate if Ukraine, supported by its allies, does not stand firm against further Russian military advancement.

Zelenskyy sat down with 60 Minutes in his hometown of Kryvyi Rih, a week after a Russian missile killed 19 people, including nine children near a playground.

Zelenskyy said that at this moment in the war, the security of the entire world is at stake.

      That’s exactly what you get when you don’t punch the bully back. Russia broke the well defined post WW2 rule. It was a pretty simple rule too… Don’t try to rob your neighbour’s land.

      They should not be rewarded in any way for it. If anything they already have been.

        Not only that rule. Also the specific rule that they agreed to which was to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty if they gave up their nukes.

      what Israel is doing in Palestine is a genocide not a war. the only way for both of these issues to go away is to abolish the aggressor state
