Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday warned that a Third World War may be right around the corner which he implied would be an escalation of the Russian-Ukraine war.
The 45-year-old Zelensky sat down with 60 Minutes, a famous US show where important world figures, celebrities and more address crucial issues within an hour.
During the interview, Zelensky, who will be visiting the US this week to address the UN General Assembly, discussed many issues including nuclear war threats, the upcoming 2024 US presidential elections and more.
In the interview that aired on Sunday, he said: "If Ukraine falls, what will happen in ten years? Just think about it. If [the Russians] reach Poland, what's next? A Third World War?
"We're defending the values of the whole world. And these are Ukrainian people who are paying the highest price. We are truly fighting for our freedom, we are dying. We are not fiction, we are not a book.
"We are fighting for real with a nuclear state that threatens to destroy the world."
