Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky promised in his daily video address that Ukraine “will never be a land of ruins, no matter how much the Kremlin dreams of it”.
According to him, the old town of Chernihiv should be given UNESCO World Heritage status. In his daily video address on Monday night, Zelenskyj also reported on a visit to the village of Jahidne, where a year ago the Russian occupiers crammed the 300 residents into a school basement like a “living shield”. The people, including the elderly and children, had to endure confinement for weeks.
This was “one of the most emotionally difficult journeys”, the Ukrainian president now judged and again announced that those responsible for war crimes will be punished. “The Kremlin will not be able to match its seat on the UN Security Council, its gas pipelines or anything else,” said the 45-year-old.
Defense only possible with western help
The successful defense of his country is only possible with the help of the West. According to Zelenskyj, German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija Pejčinović Burić, UNESCO head Audrey Azoulay and former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo received Monday.
“It is the EU member states and the EU leaders who are openly declaring the need to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in support of Ukraine. The EU would have lost Russia, “but that is their own fault.” He announced that “if necessary (…) harsh measures must be taken”.
