- The Russian 'war machine' acceleration poses a significant risk of further conflicts in Europe and beyond, according to Zelenskyy.
Putin is determined to start another war in Europe — Zelenskyy
Zelensky said this in an interview with Reuters.
The Russians have so internally stirred up this war that if we don’t stop Putin, there will be a continuation. He will choose some small country: he needs it. He has dispersed the war economy and radicalized the Russians. Today in Russia there are 20–25% of young people who want the destruction of Ukraine and Europe, who want to return to Soviet influence, who want to return to the idea of destroying NATO. It will not just disappear.

According to Zelensky, Putin will not choose: a split in society or taking a couple of steps and putting his right foot or his left foot in one of the Baltic states.
He will choose the second.
He will not risk himself, his life, or his inner stability.
