Zelenskyy Says Allies Must Step Up Aid If Ukraine Is To Win War

Vladimir Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, warned CBC and CTV broadcasters this week that if Russia chose to use nuclear weapons on Kiev, the world should make it known that it would be met with an instant military response. The head of Ukraine claimed that Moscow only speaks the language of coercion and accused Russia of utilizing "terrorist" blackmail techniques.

Zelensky asserted that Moscow has frequently threatened to attack "decision-making centers" in Ukraine, including with nuclear weapons, and he suggested that the international community should react in the event that such a strike does occur. It is irrelevant whether Ukraine is a member of NATO or a non-member state, he said, adding that no one should be permitted to "blackmail [other countries] like a terrorist."

"If you hit Bankova Street [the Ukrainian President's Office], there will be a strike at where you are," the world should inform the Russians, according to the Ukrainian president.
