Zelensky warns: We must prepare for a Russian nuclear attack

Zelensky said tonight: ‘We shouldn’t wait for the moment when Russia decides to use nuclear weapons… We must prepare for that.’

Anti-radiation medicine and air raid shelters would be needed, he said, adding that the Russians ‘can use any weapon, I’m convinced of it’.

The interview was broadcast by six Ukrainian news websites.

It came after a tough day of shelling from Russian forces as they sought revenge over the sinking of the Moskva flagship, which is believed to have seen most of the roughly 500 crew perish – although 54 were rescued by a Turkish vessel, according to Lithuanian authorities.
