Putin will be killed unless he stops threatening nuclear apocalypse after latest Zaporizhzhia attack plan, says Zelensky | The Sun
VOLODYMYR Zelensky has boldly warned Putin that he will be killed if he doesn't stop threatening a nuclear apocalypse.
The Ukrainian president made the confident threat against the Russian leader as the tyrant brings the nuclear threat ever-closer to the brink.
In an interview with BBC Ukraine, Zelensky warned: "I believe that if he [Putin] does not stop threatening the world with nuclear weapons, the world will find a way to kill him.
"It's very dangerous, and that's why he's careful about making these messages."
On Monday, US President Joe Biden warned that the threat of the Russian President using tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine is "real".
He referred to Putin's decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus as "absolutely irresponsible".

However, the alarming rise in Russian nuclear rhetoric has led to US senators again to affirm that "the threat of a use of a nuclear device by Russia is real".
They warned Moscow that they "will be in a war with NATO" if they use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
Today, Republican senator Lindsey Graham and Democrat senator Richard Blumenthal jointly stated: "such an attack should be considered an attack on NATO itself".
They were also careful to stress that this applies to any attempt to blow up a nuclear power plant.

The warning follows repeated statements from Zelensky that Russia is planning a terror attack on the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
The Ukrainian president on Thursday claimed that Putin's forces were preparing to unleash a radiation leak on Europe's biggest nuclear site, while the Kremlin dismissed it as "lie".
Zelensky also stressed the danger of Putin's inner circle constantly ramping up the threat of a nuclear strike on Ukraine, and railed against his decision to move nuclear warheads into neighbouring Belarus.
Russia's city-killer weapons arrived on Belarusian soil on June 14 as the country's incumbent dictator vowed he wouldn't hesitate to use them.
Puppet president and Putin lapdog Alexander Lukashenko told reporters: "God forbid I have to make a decision to use those weapons today, but there would be no hesitation if we face an aggression."
He trumpeted that these "super-weapons" were three-times more powerful than those dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima or Nagasaki in 1945.
Also this week, Putin vowed to deploy his hypersonic "Satan-2" nuclear-capable missiles in a chilling new threat to the West.
The Russian leader said that the new generations of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles – thought to be the world's most powerful – would soon be ready for "combat duty".
It comes as Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that Putin is being lied to by Russia's defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, about "colossal" Russian battlefield failures in Ukraine.
The warlord, known for his outbursts and critiques of the Russian military, said Shiogu is not telling the despot about "the thousands of destroyed tanks and armoured vehicles" littered on the battlefield of Bakhmut.
He warned that Shiogu and the head of Russia's army, Valery Gerasimov, are downplaying the threat posed by Ukraine's counteroffensive.
"They are bringing total c**p to the president's desk, [it's] shameless," he said in a video message.
"They don't let anyone there [in Bakhmut], they don't show anything precisely because there are colossal problems there."

Russia has consistently peddled the line that Ukraine's long-awaited counteroffensive is failing, which military experts dispute.
Putin flippantly claimed last week that Ukrainian forces had "no chance" in their current counteroffensive and so Russia would have no need to resort to nuclear weapons.
