Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky warned that the world would be plunged into a third world war if peace talks with Russia fail, noting that even if there is about about a “one percent chance” of stopping the war, then the two countries should take it.

On Sunday, Fox News flagged that Zelensky told CNN, “I think that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have a possibility of negotiating, possibility of talking to Putin. But if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third World War.”
