They are irrational: Zelenskyy refuses to assess likelihood of Russia's using nuclear weapons

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he is not sure that the Russian Federation will use nuclear weapons, but refused to predict Russia's actions.

Source: The President of Ukraine, in an interview for Czech television, published on Zelenskyy’s Facebook page on 2 November.

The president was asked whether he thinks that nuclear war is possible, because Russia is threatening to use nuclear weapons.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "I'm not sure. I don't even want to predict [the actions of the Russian Federation], because Russia likes to do the opposite...

‘What do they say in Ukraine? "There will be no use of nuclear weapons," oh, let's think about how to use them.’ Thus, I don't want to give an assessment because there is such a threat. I believe that there is no need to fear this. There is no need to fear Russia.

I don't think they [the Russians- ed.] are rational. You should not associate Russia's ultimatums or the failure to meet their conditions with the idea that they will use [nuclear] weapons. These are unrelated things."
