Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed that he has survived multiple assassination attempts, which he attributes to Russian aggression.

"Five or six" plots

The leader said that at least "five or six" plots to kill him had been foiled by Ukrainian intelligence services.

Panic

Regarding these attempts, Mr. Zelensky said that the first plot caused panic.

Reaching their goal

To achieve their goal, they "will use all the instruments at their disposal", explains the President.

Defeating Russia

The President also declared that Ukraine's will to defeat Vladimir Putin's Russia remained strong, and that "morally speaking, there is no impasse".

Fatigue sets in

He told The Sun, however, that his people are tired of "constant air raids", tired of being bombed, tired of seeing their homes destroyed and loved ones killed.

"Maidan 3"

Despite the threats he faces, the President denied any notion of capitulation or complacency, despite Russia's latest operation, codenamed "Maidan 3", aimed at bringing about regime change in Ukraine.

Defending its sovereignty

Mr. Zelensky underlined Ukraine's determination to defend its sovereignty. His administration continues to enjoy the support of the international community. This includes the United States, which stands firmly behind Ukraine.

The spirit of resistance

Ukraine's spirit of resistance and the international support it receives contribute to the continuation of the conflict, as we enter another harsh winter.

A hybrid war

This war is also an information war: "All this time, journalists, cameramen, reporters, photographers and drivers have been on the front line," he said. "Since this is a hybrid war, information is also a weapon in Russian hands."

World War 3

The Ukrainian president also accused Moscow of "lighting fires" around the world and bringing the planet to the brink of a third world war with its barbaric, lawless war in Europe.

Iran

He claimed that Mr. Putin supported the Hamas attack on Israel, citing Russia's apparent strengthening of relations with Iran, which supports the terrorist group and has supplied kamikaze drones to Moscow.
