President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will spread the war to European countries. The Ukrainian politician said this during a press conference after a meeting with his American counterpart, Donald Trump.

"You see, we said that Putin will sell the war in different territories. І today president Trump agreed with me: I said that he [Putin] will not wait for the war in Ukraine to end. He will try to find weaknesses in Europe, in NATO countries – he will try to do this," Zelenskyy said.

According to the president, during a previous meeting with Trump on September 18, he said that he did not know what format of struggle Putin would choose: "Because he has used cyberattacks many times before."

"But now we see it. Yesterday, you saw Denmark, Norway – Nordic, Baltic countries during all these months. From Belarus, from Russia, from Russia through Belarus – we see it, we have [data on] the entire path of these drones," the Ukrainian president said.

He recalled the incidents with Poland and Romania, noting that the Russian dictator uses different types of long-range drones to understand Europe's readiness and the quality of its air defense.

Zelenskyy added that with these provocations, Putin wants to know how NATO will respond: "By words or by what?"
