Zelensky says World War III is here

Tuesday marks four years since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian president, it marked the start of a third world war. "I mean, Putin has already started it," Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the BBC.

According to Zelenskyy, the war is bigger than a conflict between two countries and he believes that the whole world would benefit if Ukraine wins.

Putin will not stop at Ukraine, Zelenskyy says.

The US has tried to broker a ceasefire and an end to the war, but US President Donald Trump is demanding that Ukraine hold presidential elections before the summer. Zelenskyy says he is willing to hold elections - if he receives security guarantees first.

"If that is a requirement to end the war, then let's do it," Zelenskyy said.
