Interfax-Ukraine quoted his words.“Mobilization would definitely mean lost ratings for Russia’s leader. That’s why he hasn’t done it until now. Believe me, they didn’t want to pay such large sums for contracts — sums they’ve paid over the years. But they went for it. Imagine the price of protecting his personal rating. So, if mobilization happens, it will be a challenge to Europe. He will start a large-scale war,” Zelenskyy said during a meeting with journalists on Wednesday.According to Zelenskyy, the risk of mobilization exists because Putin needs to “sell” success.“Where could he achieve quick successes? Look at the map of Europe. Wherever quick victories are possible, that’s where he will go if mobilization happens. That’s certain. And why would he mobilize millions otherwise? There is a high risk that Putin will actually go into a world war,” Zelenskyy added.On October 5, Reuters reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration demanded that American diplomats prevent the lifting of the long-standing embargo on Cuba, as more than 5,000 Cubans are fighting alongside Russia against Ukraine.
