Ukrainian officials said that they hit the Moskva with missiles, but Russia insisted that a fire had caused the ship to sink.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Friday, the United States supported Ukraine\u2019s account, with a senior defense official saying that it believes that two Ukrainian Neptune missiles hit the Russian warship in the Black Sea,\u201d CNN reported.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper turned the question to Zelensky then, saying, \u201cThe Moskva, the one that Ukrainian soldiers told to \u2018f-off\u2019 sank. The Russians say \u2014 and the Russians are liars \u2014 but the Russians say it sank on its own. Can you offer some clarity and evidence as to what happened to that ship?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that it is gone. For us it is a serious weapon against our country. That is why the fact that it sank is not a tragedy for us,\u201d Zelensky replied through a translator. \u201cI want you and everyone else to know that. The less weapons the Russian Federation who attacked our country has, the better it is for us, the less powerful they are. This is all, and it is the most important thing. And what happened to it? Time will tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tapper and Zelensky went on to discuss the ongoing battle for the Donbas region, and the conversation turned to just how far Zelensky believed the Russians were willing to go in order to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe director of the CIA warned that he\u2019s worried Putin might use a tactical nuclear weapon in this fight. Are you worried?\u201d Tapper asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only me. I think all of the world, all the countries have to be worried because you know it can be not real information, but it can be the truth,\u201d Zelensky replied in English, noting that often the real difficulty was in determining what information was real and accurate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor them, life of the people is nothing,\u201d Zelensky continued. \u201cThat\u2019s why we truly think \u2014 not be afraid, don\u2019t be afraid. Be ready, but that is not a question to Ukraine, and not only for Ukraine, for all the world. I think so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A translator took over to assist in the rest of Zelensky\u2019s response, noting that no one had really expected a full-scale war over Ukraine \u2014 either in 2014 or currently \u2014 but that the Russians had pushed forward anyway. For that reason, he said, he had to believe the Russians were capable of anything \u2014 even the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/just-in-putin-raises-nuclear-deterrent-forces-to-special-combat-readiness\/\">use of chemical or nuclear weapons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that there will be a full-scale invasion and killing of civilians, nobody expected them to invade the areas where there\u2019s no military equipment and just kill and shoot dead a civilian population. Nobody expected that,\u201d Zelensky continued through the translator. \u201cBut this is a fact, and it happened, and that is when Russia gives information and says, if something goes not according to plan, they can use chemical weapons and their nuclear potential. And that is why I believe these are dangerous claims of untrustworthy people. If we believe some of them are already untrustworthy, then they can use nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
