Zelenskyy: Putin may attack Europe before Ukraine war ends

He stated this in an interview with The Guardian.

“I believe so. He can do that. We must forget about the general European scepticism that Putin first wants to occupy Ukraine and then may go somewhere else. He can do both at the same time,” Zelenskyy said.

The president noted that the increase in aggressive Russian activity across Europe - from decoy drone incursions over Poland to the appearance of UAVs near airports in Copenhagen, Munich, and Brussels - is due to Moscow's inability to make significant progress on the front since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022.

“Putin is in a dead-end situation in terms of real success. It’s more like a stalemate for him. That’s why these failures could lead him to look for other territories. It’s very difficult for us but we are at home and defending ourselves,” he said.

• A top German general issued a stark warning that Russia currently possesses the capability to launch a limited, regional attack on NATO territory at any moment, while potentially building capacity for a major assault by 2029.
