Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that Vladimir Putin “will not be able to save his life” in the event of using nuclear weapons. He said this in a video interview with the Lowy Institute in Australia.

“He [Putin] understands that after the use of nuclear weapons, he will no longer be able to preserve, so to speak, his life, and I am sure of this,” he said.
