World War III has officially begun, Ukraine’s ex-top general says
SUMMARY
Ukraine's former military commander, Valery Zaluzhny, has stated that the involvement of Russia's allies, such as North Korea, Iran, and China, in the Ukraine war means that World War III has officially begun. During a speech at Ukrainska Pravda's UP100 award ceremony, Zaluzhny pointed out that Ukraine is no longer just fighting Russia but facing direct threats from soldiers and weapons supplied by these countries, including Iranian drones and North Korean troops. Zaluzhny expressed his concerns that while Ukraine has the technology to survive, the battle may not be won without broader support. He warned that the situation could escalate further if not addressed, urging Ukraine's allies to recognize the gravity of the conflict. His comments echo his previous grim assessments of the war, where he compared the conflict's deadlock to the stalemate of World War I.
