Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned the world that Russian President Vladimir Putin may use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
In an interview on CNN, when asked if he was concerned that Putin may deploy a tactical nuclear bomb on Ukraine, Zelenskyy said, "...all of the countries have to be worried because it can be not real information, but it can be the truth."
"Chemical weapons, they should do it, they could do it, for them the life of the people, nothing. That's why," Zelenskyy said in an interview. "We should think not to be afraid, not be afraid but be ready. But that is not a question for Ukraine, not only for Ukraine but for all the world, I think."
