    Ukraine’s former ÖB: World War III underway

    The statement was made at an award ceremony for Ukrainians organized by the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda and is similar to his previous somber statements about the war.

    He was fired by Zelensky in February this year. He has also written a text about how the state of the conflict is similar to the stalemate that was during the First World War, which Zelenskyi did not like.
