President Zelenskyy said that NATO countries can deter Russia from using nuclear weapons by carrying out "preventive strike''

“Preventive strikes are necessary, so that they know what they will face if they use nuclear weapon. Not the opposite – to wait for Russia’s nuclear strikes in order to say them, ‘Oh, if you do so, then get this’,” the president said.

Zelensky walked back the comment in an interview with BBC published on Friday night.
“When I said “preventive strikes”, I meant a preventive kick, not an attack, these are different things,” the head of state said

“I just want to tell them, the Russians, that the whole civilized world knows that we are not terrorists, we did not start this war.
As I have said earlier, during two years of my presidency we proposed a dialogue, we sought opportunities to speak with President Putin, just a phone conversation – they rejected it all,” he said.

“That is why I called – that was before February 24, before the invasion – I said that we were raising the issue of preventive kicks, kicks by sanctions. Not a dialogue, not words, but kicks – that is what I meant,” the president said.

May una rest na.

Who takes the word of a comedian serious? A clown

The fear of Putin.

No one takes this dude serious anymore, he’s a fool , killing his people when peace can be negotiated!

I don't necessarily think it's out of fear but giving away US/NATO game plan
I think they were going to ramp up fear that Putin might use nuclear weapons, then launch a surprise attack on Russia to bring about a regime change[Iraq/Saddam Hussein script]
They got him to retract his comment because the cat is out of the bag

Russia is too big for that boogy Iraqi game.
There is nothing like attacking Russia.
