Restore military potential: in 2028 the Russian Federation will try to attack other countries - Zelensky

According to the President of Ukraine, the Baltic countries, as well as those in which the Russian military contingent is present, they are in the focus of the Kremlin's expansion. And if you stop the war in Ukraine, the Russian Federation will come together with new forces to attack them. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky warned that in the event of a freezing of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia may begin to attack other countries in 2028.

The Head of State stated this on Thursday, October 5, at the summit of the European political community in Granada (Spain). According to the President, Russia is considering various scenarios in the coming years, and one of them "causes special anxiety. " "If there is a pause or freezing of a conflict in this aggression against Ukraine, then we will face a new critical situation in 2028," Zelensky said.

The President stressed that if Russia is given the opportunity to adapt to the current situation, in 2028 the Kremlin will be able to restore its military potential, which was undermined by the actions of defense forces. "This can give Russia sufficient force to attack countries in the focus of Russian expansion. In addition to Ukraine, these are the Baltic countries and countries in which Russian military contingents are present," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian leader stressed that this information is based on intelligence and "we will signal you. " He also stressed that "the most dangerous enemy is the one who receives lessons from past mistakes and is preparing for a new attack based on conclusions. " We will remind, during his visit to Spain Zelensky held negotiations with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Pedro Sanchez, who promised to provide Ukraine with a new package of military assistance for Ukraine.
