Does Zelenskyy Think Putin Will Use Nuclear Weapons?

From the episode: President Zelenskyy: Peace Is A Huge Compromise, The Horrific Atrocities Of Russian War Crimes!

Answer

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he does not think Putin will risk nuclear weapons. He is sure Putin would then have no allies left, including America and China, because a nuclear attack is far too dangerous even for nuclear powers.

Steven Bartlett asked if Zelenskyy is concerned about escalation to nuclear weapons. Zelenskyy says the thought crosses everyone's mind after what has already been done. If one country uses a nuclear weapon once, he says, it might be used a second and a third time in a conflict on another continent, such as the Middle East.

Zelenskyy says Putin and the system around him will hold onto each other until the end of his days. Only when his life ends will he leave the Kremlin and physically hand over.
