International desk: Valery Zaluzhny, the former head of the Ukrainian army, said, "The direct participation of Russia's dictatorial allies in the Ukraine war indicates that the third world war has begun ." Zalujhani made this comment at the UP-100 award ceremony of Ukrainian media Ukrainska Pravdar today. This information is known from the report of German-based media Politico.

Former General Zaluzhny, who currently serves as Ukraine's special envoy to the UK, said, 'I believe, in 2024, we can say with certainty that World War III has begun.' He made the comments just days after his country was hit by US and British long-range missiles in Russia.
In response, Russia also attacked Ukraine with the first intercontinental ballistic missile in the history of world war. Also threatened, Russia will regularly attack Ukraine with new types of missiles. These missiles will also include hypersonic missiles.
General Zaluzhny said, 'In 2024, Ukraine is no longer only facing Russia. North Korean troops are now standing in front of Ukraine. Reality should be accepted. Iranian Shahed drones are openly killing civilians in Ukraine, without any shame. The weapons of North Korea and China are hitting Ukraine.
Jaluzhani urged Ukraine's allies to take quick action and said, 'It is still possible to end this war, on the soil of Ukraine. But our allies do not want to understand that. It is clear that Ukraine has many enemies now. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is difficult to win this war alone.'
Jalujhni's statement echoes his earlier warnings about war. In an article in The Economist last year, he also compared the war situation to a World War I stalemate, which angered President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Zelensky fired Zaluzhny in February this year. The two's differences over the war and Zaluzhny's growing popularity—which positioned him as a political threat to Zelensky—played a role in this decision.
Zaluzhani was praised on 24 February 2022 for his plan to prevent and counterattack Russia. But last year's failed counter-offensive overshadowed this success. He was replaced by General Oleksandr Sirsky, known to be close to President Zelensky.
