Speaking about the possible US withdrawal from NATO, Zelenskyy said, “The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100% if the United States withdraws from NATO.”

“Not all of Europe. They will start with those countries, as I said, which are our big friends, but small countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. They will start, and we will see what the answer is,” he said.

“But Europe will not answer, because they have none. They will start defending themselves. Every country defends itself. And at this moment. So Russia will have all these successes,” he explained.

“I don’t know what they want, 30% of Europe or 50%. I don’t know. Nobody knows, but they will have this possibility,” he added. []
