War in Ukraine – Zelensky: He will answer “every bastard who came to our country under the Russian flag”

The Ukrainian president broke out Volodymyr Zelensky last Sunday night against what he called Russia’s “lie” policy. The Ukrainian government will be held accountable for “every bastard who came to our country under the Russian flag and killed our citizens.”although Moscow is trying to abdicate its responsibilities, he stressed in a recorded sermon.

“What is Russia doing? What do its officials, its propagandists, the common people who just parrot what they hear on TV do? They are justified and denied. They deny any responsibility. They lie”.

“They have gone so far as to accuse us of what the Russian army is doing,” Zelensky insisted, referring to the attack on the Kramatorsk railway station and the massacres of civilians that his government alleges were committed in Boutsa and other suburbs of Kiev.

According to him, Russia is unable to admit its “mistakes” in its policy towards Ukraine. “They are afraid to admit that for years, they took the wrong positions, spent huge resources to support human zeros who wanted to present themselves in the future as heroes of the Ukrainian-Russian friendship.”

“They occupied Crimea, we are supposed to be to blame for that. They ruined normal life in Donbas, it’s our fault. They have been killing people in our country for eight years and they say it is our fault. “Finally, they started a total war against us, and again we are to blame,” the head of state added, according to the German News Agency and the Athenian News Agency, accusing them. Russians how they lie because they are “cowardly”.

Kuleba: War would not have broken out if the country had been a member of NATO

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba once again called it a strategic mistake by Germany and France to oppose Ukraine’s accession to NATO in 2008.

Today the country is paying for this mistake, he argued. “If we were a NATO member, this war would not have happened,” Kouleba said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press.

The head of the Ukrainian diplomacy also criticized Germany for not supporting Ukraine as much as the government in Kyiv would like, because it still distinguishes between defensive and offensive weapons.

“If we had not wasted so much time discussing defense (weapons) against attackers, what Ukraine needs and does not need, we would be in a different position now, in a much stronger position,” he insisted.

Mr Kuleba also said his country was proposing a “fair deal” with NATO and the West. “You provide us with everything we need. “We are fighting on your behalf so that you do not have to get involved in the conflict if (Russian President Vladimir Putin) decides to try Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by attacking a NATO member state.”

He also assured that the Ukrainians know “how to fight” and what they need are weapons. Referring to the withdrawal of Russian troops from the Kiev region and the expected large-scale Russian operation in the eastern part of the country, he said “Ukraine has won the battle of Kiev. “Now comes another battle, the battle for Donbass.”
