Zelensky’s comments on preventive strikes against Russia are a call to begin a ‘nuclear war’, Kremlin says

In an interview with the Australian think tank Lowy Institute, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was asked about the possibility of launching preventive airstrikes against Russia in order to stop it from further interference in Ukraine’s affairs.

Zelensky said that “we need to be serious about the potential for nuclear warfare, and yes, I would 100% consider it…I know that [Russian President Vladimir Putin] would be very wise not to test me.”

Russia claims a nuclear train is headed for Ukraine

Asked whether he would launch preventive airstrikes against Russia in order to stop it from further interference in Ukraine’s affairs, Zelensky said that he would “100% consider” such a move.

In response to Zelensky’s comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “it is clear that Mr. Zelensky is calling for starting a nuclear war.

“This is completely irresponsible.” He went on to say that “such statements can only be made by people who do not understand what responsibility they bear.”

Peskov also said that Zelensky’s comments were an attempt to score political points ahead of Ukraine’s parliamentary elections, which are set to take place later this month. “Of course, this is pre-election rhetoric,” Peskov said. “And we understand this very well.”

It remains to be seen whether Zelensky’s comments were merely pre-election rhetoric or if he is serious about the possibility of launching preventive airstrikes against Russia.

However, one thing is clear: the Kremlin has interpreted his words as a call to begin a “nuclear war”, and it has responded accordingly.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
