Zelenskyj: The world must know the truth about Russian terror
In his evening video address on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanded that the world learn “all the facts about Russian terror” against the Ukrainians. “It is important that the world talks about what the terrorist state is doing and how we are protecting lives,” said Zelenskyy. He spoke in this regard of the permanent Russian artillery raids on Cherson or Kharkiv, as well as “terror against villages in the border areas of the Chernihiv and Sumy regions, hell in the Donetsk region”.
The most important goal of Russia is Security to destroy, both in Ukraine and everywhere in Europe, everywhere in the free world, Zelenskyy said. “Destroying security, bringing death and chaos, that’s all a terrorist state does.”
The latest attacks hit Ukraine on the day it commemorates the victory over Nazi Germany 78 years ago. In contrast to Russia, where the Soviet victory at the time is traditionally celebrated on May 9th, Kiev now – like other European countries – celebrates May 8th memorial day certainly.
