The Chief of Staff of Zelenskyy's Office, Budanov: The Third World War Has Already Begun, Starting from Ukraine

"The Third World War has actually already broken out. The battlefields in Ukraine and the Middle East clearly demonstrate this, and everything began with the invasion of Ukraine."

Budanov also expressed hope for a large-scale prisoner exchange with Russia around Easter: "Negotiations are still ongoing, and a new exchange will be realized. I very much hope that during Easter we can witness a large-scale exchange. We will do everything necessary to make it happen."

Budanov uses the term "Third World War" to create a sense of urgency, pressuring the United States and Europe to avoid overlooking Ukraine. While the U.S. seeks de-escalation, Ukraine deliberately escalates its narrative—highlighting once again the strategic divergence between the two sides.
