Battle-tested Zelenskyy sounds chilling alarm on where Putin’s war could head next

UNITED NATIONS - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Tuesday that Russia could launch attacks against other European countries, telling Fox News Digital that the risk of a new offensive is "very high" as Moscow seeks to undermine European unity and weaken support for Ukraine.

Speaking to reporters following his meeting with President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Zelenskyy was asked by Fox News Digital about the possibility that Russia could invade or attack another European country in the near future.

"That's why the risk of offensive by drones, missiles or land operation is very high against other countries who are bordering Russia or Belarus ," Zelenskyy said.

"How to divide unanimity in Europe? ...

To attack somebody else.

To attack and say, look, I will go further if you will not stop this," Zelenskyy said.

He pointed to drone incursions and disruptions affecting several European countries, arguing that Moscow is already attempting to intimidate European societies and test their response.

Zelenskyy said Putin's inability to secure a decisive victory in Ukraine could push him toward additional confrontations, as he faces pressure to justify the war to the Russian public.
