Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that the Russian invasion of his country is only the beginning and that Moscow has plans to invade other countries, Reuters reported.
“All countries, like us, believe in the victory of life over death, must fight with us. They must help us, because we are first in line. And who will be next?” Zelensky said in a video message later on Friday.
He spoke, according to a senior Russian military official quoted yesterday by Russian news agencies, that Moscow wants full control of southern Ukraine and access to Transnistria, a breakaway Moldovan region with Russian troops.
This would cut off the entire Ukrainian coast and the entrance of Russian troops hundreds of kilometers to the west, beyond the cities of Nikolaev and Odessa.
