“I saw a beautiful picture today,” Zelenki said. “Jews are wrapped in Ukrainian flags near the Western Wall in Jerusalem. They prayed and I thank them for that. I talked to the Israeli leadership, we have a good relationship – but things are being tested in times of need. I did not feel the Israeli prime minister was wrapped in our flag,” he said.
“Thank you for coming, you brave people,” the Ukrainian president initially told reporters who had managed to reach his statement. “The Russian army is 10 times ours, and they do not count their people,” Zalansky accused. “The Russians brought in mobile crematoria so as not to report any casualties.”
He sent a sting to the Russian president and said, “Do you want peace? Sit down and talk to me. But not from a distance of 30 meters as with Macron, I am your neighbor, I am a normal man.” He added that he was ready to discuss any burning issues. “I’m willing to talk about the language and status of the Donbass region,” Zlansky said. “I know the people in the field and I was very popular there even before the presidency. I have said many times that we are in favor of peace, we just need to talk to us.”
Zalansky said that if he had not been president – he would have enlisted in the regional militias. “If I were told to lay down my arms and move to the other side – I would not agree. My life is great. I think I am needed, and it’s a good feeling. Our government continues to function without defectors, we defend our homeland.”
He again turned to the Russian mothers whose sons had been sent to fight in his country and said: “The soldiers who came here could be my children. I do not want them to be burned in the crematoria and call on the Russian mothers to come and take them home.”
Zalansky warned that the Russian army would not stop in the occupation of Ukraine – and intends to continue to neighboring countries as well. “If Ukraine falls, the next in line will be Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Moldova,” Zalansky said. “The Russians will not stop until they reach the Berlin Wall,” he said. “They loot shops and distribute the loot as humanitarian aid.”
He added that he had appealed to the powers to enforce the ban on flying Russian planes in Ukraine and said: “I turned to President Biden, Chancellor Schultz and President Macron and asked – why do you not close the sky? How many people must be killed for that to happen? I believe Ukraine has acquired the right to be A member of the European Union like Germany. “
