President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russia could attack EU countries even before the war in Ukraine ends, as Russian leader Vladimir Putin is in a "stalemate" situation.

Details : Zelenskyy said it is entirely possible that Russia could open a second front against another European country before the war in Ukraine is over.

Quote : "I believe so. He can do that. We must forget about the general European scepticism that Putin first wants to occupy Ukraine and then may go somewhere else. He can do both at the same time."

Details : Zelenskyy linked the rise in criminal activity across Europe – including incidents of decoy drones entering Poland and later appearing over airports in other European capitals – to Russia's failure to make significant progress on the line of contact in Ukraine.

"Putin is in a dead-end situation in terms of real success. It's more like a stalemate for him. That's why these failures could lead him to look for other territories," the Ukrainian president said.

He described Russia as a large and aggressive country that needs a major external enemy to unite its diverse ethnic groups and regions. Zelenskyy also added that Putin sees the United States and the West as enemies.

"Befriending Russia is not a solution for America. In terms of values, Ukraine is much closer to the US than Russia," he said.
