Former NATO Commander Wesley Clark Warns Zelenskyy Must 'Be Prepared
to Fight Every Street, Every Block in Kyiv’
'Former NATO Commander and retired Army General Wesley Clark said in the early hours of Thursday morning that he is “hopeful” the Ukrainian military will be able to prevent the Russian invasion from reaching Kyiv, but that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants regime change and Russian forces will be targeting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and “his top people” in the city.
Air raid sirens echo in the streets of Kyiv Thursday as Ukrainian civilians have clogged streets with massive traffic jams trying to escape the city. Explosions have already rocked several cities in Ukraine, including Kyiv, and dramatic footage has been breaking on social media and on-air.
CNN’s Michael Holmes was live from Lviv, Ukraine on Thursday (overnight in U.S. time zones) and spoke with CNN analyst Gen. Clark about the rapidly evolving situation as Russian forces have invaded from multiple directions. . .
“Russia always anticipates a NATO involvement, and Russia plans to use some unconventional weapons, including a nuclear weapon if necessary, to frighten off NATO,” the retired General added rather bluntly. “So this is no joke. This is a real confrontation.”
Clark closed by echoing the warning of the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.N., saying “This is an attack on the world order by Mr. Putin. Well it can’t be answered by just standing aside. So I hope America’s European allies and our many friends in Europe who are listening to this broadcast understand that this attack on Ukraine is directed at them and their nations. Their leadership must respond now.”'
