The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj wants to hold those responsible for the serious acts of war in his country accountable without forbearance. “We are working with our partners on new punitive measures once morest the Russian state,” he said in a statement published on Tuesday night video message. «Everyone responsible for the war. Anyone responsible for destroying democracy. Anyone responsible for repression once morest people. Everyone gets an answer.”
The Russian military is definitely responsible for war crimes, for a “deliberately created humanitarian catastrophe” in Ukrainian cities, Zelenskyy said in the clip, which shows him in military gear in the presidential office in Kyiv.
Russia is beginning to realize that it will not achieve anything by going to war. “They didn’t expect such resistance. They believed their propaganda, which has been lying regarding us for decades.” The Russian army had suffered higher losses within 19 days of the war in Ukraine than during the two Chechen wars, Zelenskyj said. The information is not independently verifiable.
The Ukrainian President called on the Russian soldiers to lay down their arms. From wiretapped telephone conversations between Russian soldiers and their families at home, we know what many “really think regarding this war”. “I know you want to survive.”
He is grateful to those Russians “who don’t stop telling the truth,” said Zelenskyj, referring to anti-war protests in Russia. He gave one as an example anti-warwho had interrupted the main evening news program with a protest poster and loud shouts on Russian state television.
He confirmed that talks between the two countries’ negotiators are set to continue today. The delegations had adjourned on Monday due to a “technical break”.
