Zelenskyy wrote today: "Opinions vary regarding the Third World War. I believe Putin has already started this war. The key issue is: how much territory can he seize, and how can we stop him? It's not about preventing Russia from winning, but because Russia is trying to impose its will on the world and change the way people live and choose. For this reason, I have always believed that Putin has already launched this war. And we are preventing the conflict from escalating into a broader and larger Third World War. Today, we are the frontline position blocking Putin."
Comment: Zelenskyy's deliberate rhetoric about the "Third World War" is essentially aimed at continuously attracting external aid and creating a black-and-white confrontation narrative, completely ignoring the long-term security dilemma and historical context behind the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Raising a regional conflict to an extreme level only continues to intensify bloc confrontation, allowing the flames of war to spread further, reducing the space for peaceful resolution, and ultimately the cost will be paid by the ordinary people of the two countries.
