World War III Has Already Started Declares Ukrainian Security Chief

The Third World War has already started and people should expect more conflicts to break out, Ukraine’s top security chief declared on Tuesday.

Speaking from the Kyiv Security Forum alongside former CIA chief General David Petraeus, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said that “people that think the Third World War has not yet started make a big mistake.”

“This is not just about relations between Ukraine and Russia, it’s also a big mistake. It’s a much more complicated geopolitical situation and some sober-minded people have said that this is not the last war in this century,” Danilov continued.

Rejecting the idea of coming to the negotiating table with Moscow, Danilov — who previously served as the mayor of the now Russian-occupied Donbas city of Luhansk — compared the situation his country is currently facing to London during the Blitz, saying that President Franklin D. Roosevelt would not have called Winston Churchill and say “don’t bother Hitler, he has a strong army, don’t anger him, just accept this.”

“Unfortunately, the balls of some people in big-time politics now are soft-boiled eggs, they are scared stiff before Russia,” he said of Western figures calling for peace negotiations.

The security chief said that there is “no way” that they will negotiate with Putin, branding him as a “killer of Ukrainian children” who should be “locked up and remain behind bars”.

“We cannot say that the war is going to end today or after tomorrow because this depends on too many factors, our people will fight for independence for as long as it takes,” he said adding that Ukraine will continue to fight to restore its borders and take back the territory controlled by Russia.

It is not the first time that the Ukrainians have suggested that the conflict may spark World War III, with President Volodymyr Zelensky saying shortly after the Russian invasion last year that it “may have already started” and that given the advent of nuclear weapons, the “whole civilisation” is at stake.
