Zelenskyy says Putin ‘knows he is losing this war’; Sullivan warns of ‘catastrophic consequences for Russia’ if Putin uses nukes: Updates

Russia is pushing ahead with “sham” referendums in Russian-held parts of Ukraine because President Vladimir Putin knows he is losing the war and must justify continuing to fight it, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday.

Zelenskyy, speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” said Putin plans on annexing the territories so he can justify continuing the invasion by claiming he is actually defending Russian territory. 

A monthlong Ukraine counteroffensive has driven Russia back off of thousands of miles of Ukraine territory and compelled Putin to approve a “partial” military mobilization aimed at adding 300,000 Russian soldiers to his battered military.

“Look, he knows. He feels it, and his military leadership reports to him. He knows that he’s losing the war,” Zelenskyy said. “In the battlefield, Ukraine has seized the initiative. He cannot explain to his society why.”

Referendum voting began Friday. Zelenskyy said people who fail to support annexation could face retribution – such as having their electricity cut off. The Russians “won’t give them an opportunity to live a normal human life,” he said.

►Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic on Sunday played down an agreement signed with Russia, saying it was “technical” and not related to security issues. Serbia, seeking EU membership, has not joined in the EU sanctions against Russia.

‘Catastrophic consequences for Russia’ if Putin uses nuclear weapons

The U.S. has warned the Kremlin of the devastating consequences Russia would face should nuclear weapons be used in Ukraine, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday.

“If Russia crosses this line, there will be catastrophic consequences for Russia,” Sullivan said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” The United States will respond decisively. In private channels, we have spelled out in greater detail exactly what that would mean.”

Zelenskyy said he does not believe Putin is bluffing when he said he would be justified in using any force necessary – implying tactical nuclear weapons are not off the table.

“He wants to scare the whole world,” Zelenskyy said. “I think the world is deterring it and containing this threat. We need to keep putting pressure on him.”
