The former commander-in-chief connects its beginning with the involvement of military personnel from the DPRK by Russia. And also with the assistance that, according to Zaluzhny, Iran and China are providing to Russia.
“I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely definitely consider that the third world war has begun. Because in 2024, it is no longer Russia that is facing Ukraine. It is soldiers from North Korea that are facing Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Iranian “Shaheds” are already openly killing civilians in Ukraine, without any embarrassment. North Korean-made missiles are already flying into Ukraine, and they are openly declaring this. Chinese shells are being detonated in Ukraine, and Chinese parts are used in Russian missiles,” says the Ukrainian ambassador to Britain.
He also reproached Western partners for not understanding the situation.
“What has been expected for so long has already begun. But I want to say that God himself is giving a chance, not only to Ukraine, but to the whole world, to make the right conclusions now. It is still possible to stop everything here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive due to technology, but it is unknown whether it will be able to win this battle on its own. Therefore, I believe that the world war, welcome – it has begun,” Zaluzhny said.
Recall that earlier he said that Ukrainian soldiers have almost no chance of surviving in the war and called on them not to be afraid of death.
