Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi bid an emotional farewell to Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, who died in a helicopter crash. “Every day we lose people we will remember forever and regret not being able to bring them back,” Zelenskyy said in his daily video address on Saturday. The 44-year-old was also previously present at the memorial service for the victims of the crash.
Unlike most of the other video messages he has distributed since the beginning of the Russian offensive war, Zelensky made no reference to current affairs at the front or to the demands made of the West, where a sharp debate is underway. especially in Germany, about tank deliveries to Ukraine.
Memories of Ukrainian war victims
Instead, Zelensky recalled the many casualties the war has claimed so far, and addressed an emotional message to his compatriots.
He wishes all Ukrainians to feel the loss. He wishes “that we feel how many lives, how many smart people the war costs. I want us all to honor her memory today…,” the president said.
Monastyrskyj, who died Wednesday, was about the same age as Zelenskyj. Only a year and a half ago he had taken over as Minister of the Interior. A total of 14 people were killed in the helicopter crash in the Kiev suburb of Brovary.
