The third world war started this year.
This was stated by the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ambassador of Ukraine to Great Britain Valery Zaluzhny during an event organized by the publication "Ukrainskaya Pravda".
„I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that World War III has started,” he said during the speech.
According to Zaluzhny, the beginning is evidenced by the attraction of military aid from China, Iran and North Korea to Russia.
Zaluzhny also admitted that he does not know whether Ukraine can win without the help of its allies - Ukraine has “too many enemies”.
„That is why I think the world war has started”, concluded the Ukrainian former commander-in-chief.
Meanwhile, the former chairman and current deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Dmitry Razumkov, accused the government of Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky of defrauding the servicemen of the armed forces of Ukraine, turning them into “slaves”.
„When you passed the shameful mobilization law, you said there would be a demobilization law. You do not give them normal conditions of service. People say: we came as volunteers - we became slaves," he said, speaking at a parliamentary session.
Razumkov noted that the military themselves understand the hopelessness of the situation they are in - the impossibility of leaving the front alive or at least unharmed.
„No matter how scary it is to talk about it, the soldiers note that they will go home only in three cases: either when the war is over, or when they die or are wounded,“ the MP was outraged.
He reproached his colleagues for not keeping their word when they promised that the mobilization law would not affect 18-year-olds.
“There has been mobilization since the age of 18, even today!“ - said Razumkov.
Videos of the force mobilization are widely distributed on the Internet, in which representatives of the Ukrainian military services, often beating and using force on men of mobilization age, take them away in vans in an unknown direction.
