The risk of a full-fledged war with Russia looms, according to Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky, who feels it would be the "biggest mistake."

"I suppose, maybe," the Ukrainian president said in response to a question about the potential of a full-fledged war with Russia at the YES Brainstorming session on Friday.

Zelensky, on the other hand, is sure that this would be the incorrect consequence of events." After that, the neighborhood of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus would no longer exist," he said.

Ukranian leaders have often made unfounded claims that a vague threat presented by Russia exists. Moscow, for its part, insists that no military action is planned.

On September 6, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that force will not be employed to safeguard Russian-speaking inpiduals in Ukraine because the matter is being resolved through international organisations.
