In the context of threats to use nuclear weapons, the President of Ukraine said that he considered it dangerous "to even talk about it."

“I said that it is necessary to use preventive kicks, not blows,” RIA Novosti quotes Zelensky.

The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on Zelensky's words that he was misunderstood, called the policy a "pea jester."

The deputy head of the Russian delegation at a meeting of the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, Konstantin Vorontsov, noted that Zelensky’s speech was “not about mythical sanctions,” but clearly about the need for preventive strikes by NATO countries against Russia.

The Kremlin noted that the words of the Ukrainian president speak of the moral state in which the politician is, and confirm the correctness of the Russian leadership in conducting a special military operation.
