Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday warned of fighting in Donbas that could result in the biggest war in centuries.
Speaking to the German newspaper BILD, owned by Axel Springer, Insider's parent company, Zelenskyy predicted intense fighting in the coming days.
"It could be a big war in Donbas — like the world has not seen in hundreds of years," he told BILD reporter Paul Ronzheimer.
"We will go on defending our country until the end," the Ukrainian president continued.
This chilling forecast echoes what Ukraine's foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba told NATO members on Thursday.
"The battle for Donbas will remind you of the Second World War," Kuleba said.
He used this warning to immediately call on Western allies to provide more heavy weaponry, including air defense systems, artillery, armored vehicles, and jets.

The New World Order will fight to the last Ukrainian to save Democrat money laundering. Perhaps Zelenskyy’s penis piano Homo erotic videos will save Ukraine against bad old Putin?
“What should the Ukrainians do in your opinion? “
I don’t care what they do. I don’t have a dog in that hunt.
I’d like to think we’d do the same thing if invaded; will be pretty close after May 23d when we’ll be invaded on our southern border.
Thats kind of rich, isnt it? You are saying the Ukranians dont appreciate their former and current oppressors?
“Ukraine has a solid 30 years of being a country”
War of 1812, how long had the USA been independent? You would have advised Madison to surrender and hand the nation back to the British?
Was he playing Chopsticks or Danny Boy?
That’s just because the Ukes are better at PR than the Rukes.
Even if there are 20k dead Russians, they won’t care. That’s one of their strengths as a military strategy, the ability to absorb deep losses.
Just keep in mind that the Russians are the invaders. Also, that they signed the same agreement we signed which “assures” sovereignty and borders for Ukraine, in exchange for dismantling nuke weapons. The Ukes honored the agreement, the Rukes violated it twice by invading, and we are busy looking for ways to abrogate our responsiblities.
If we can’t be trusted on such an important issue as nuke nonproliferation, then we are all doomed.
“You are saying the Ukranians dont appreciate their former and current oppressors?”
I just find it amusing how people can invent artificial demons and then set out to collectively slay them.
Whether Russian or Ukrainian.
Ethnically, nearly identical.
It would be like existential war between the US and Canada.
So if I saw your wife being assaulted, I shouldn’t try to assist her, because I don’t have a dog in that hunt?
Trench warfare would be something not seen in 100 years.
You realize Zelenskyy couldn't make a pimple on Madison's azz, right? Not to mention America was founded with Divine inspiration, unlike the Ukraine which is an American slush fund operation.
“You would have advised Madison to surrender and hand the nation back to the British?”
No, I am an American with an existential interest in that question.
Likewise Ukraine can do whatever they please until/unless some other force determines their future.
You just made an argument that the USA has the right to invade and destroy Canada, because we are bigger, we both once used to be part of the same British colony and they are culturally nearly identical to us. That’s all it takes in your book? Wow...
Except unlike Stalin, we never occupied Canada
“So if I saw your wife being assaulted, I shouldn’t try to assist her, because I don’t have a dog in that hunt?”
My wife is under my protection and does not need your assistance.
Out of curiosity, do you maintain the same do-gooder zeal for intervention in Yemen, Syria, Myanmar, DRC etc?
More atrocious activity there than Ukraine.
If not, why not?
At least the Ukrainians have not lost their way, freedom is not free.
“Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
“You just made an argument that the USA has the right to invade and destroy Canada”
I made no claims to rights.
I don’t believe that there is now, or ever has been, something called “rights” between countries.
Throughout history ever element of international dealing has been a power relationship.
However, recently 12yr old girls have started a petition to compel a Bill of Rights for countries based on...you guessed it...Right and Wrong!
And, of course, 18 million Ukrainian civilians, almost all of whom happened to be in the train station to get the last train to Clarksville when a Russian missile hit the place.
I think it's clear we're being led to believe that Ukraine is something more than a Russian speedbump.
...Western allies to provide more heavy weaponry, including air defense systems, artillery, armored vehicles, and jets...
You could send all that and more.
The Ukes do not have fuel and ammo.
And, the Russians would simply destroy the re-supply convoys
There you go. It is right and many will be killed.
