Zelensky warns Putin's Ukraine invasion is only the 'beginning'

LONDON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky again warned on Friday that Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine was only the “beginning” and that Russia has ambitious plans to “capture” other countries.

Speaking in his nightly address on the day the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates as Good Friday, the Ukrainian leader said: “All the nations that, like us, believe in the victory of life over death must fight with us. They must help us, because we are the first in line. And who will come next?

“If anyone who can become next wants to stay neutral today so as not to lose anything, this is the riskiest bet. Because you will lose everything,” he added.

Zelensky also argued in his speech that the Kremlin is planning to establish control of southern Ukraine and create a corridor to Moldova. This would allow Russian President Vladimir Putin access to the Kremlin-backed separatist region of Trans-Dniester, which borders Ukraine’s western side. Zelensky claimed that in Moldova, “The rights of Russian-speakers are violated.”
