Zelensky warns Trump of World War III, cites Russian-Iranian military support

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated in a televised interview that he warned former U.S. President Donald Trump about the risk of World War III, suggesting Trump did not take the warning seriously. Zelensky expressed concern that Russia is providing Iran with weapons, drones, and missiles, including air defense systems, which he believes could escalate the conflict. He also indicated that 10,000 North Korean soldiers are currently in Russia and could potentially be deployed to Ukraine, with similar risks if Russia sends troops to support Iran. Zelensky noted that Middle Eastern countries have remained neutral on the Ukrainian conflict due to economic ties with Moscow but are now beginning to understand the consequences of living under attacks. Reports suggest Russia is sharing drone warfare strategies learned in Ukraine with Iran, potentially enhancing Tehran's ability to target U.S. and Gulf interests. The conflict, now in its 13th day, has affected at least a dozen countries with no ceasefire in sight.
