Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he fears the Ukrainian conflict will escalate into a third world war if Russian aggression is not contained with support from Kyiv’s Western allies, reported from The Independent.

In an interview with German state broadcaster ARD on Sunday, Zelenskyy warned that if Russia struck a NATO country, it would be "the beginning of the Third World War.”.

"It seems to me that the chancellor (Olaf Scholz) is aware of this risk," Zelenskyy said.

He also urged Germany to use its economic weight to gather more support for Ukraine in the fight against Russia from EU partners, amid the prospect of potentially diminishing military aid from the US due to Republican objections in Congress.
