Ukraine-Russia war, the first lady: “No one is safe if we don’t stop Putin”

“I testify and tell the world: the war in Ukraine is not a war ‘somewhere out there’. This is a war in Europe, close to the borders of the EU. Ukraine is stopping the force that could enter so aggressive in your cities tomorrow under the pretext of saving civilians. ” Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska writes in an open letter on Facebook.

“If we don’t stop Putin, who threatens to start a nuclear war, there will be no safe place in the world for any of us“, he adds.

”A mass murder of Ukrainian civilians’‘, this is what is causing the Russian military aggression of Ukraine, writes Zelenska, who impeaches” the propaganda media supported by the Kremlin ”. “Perhaps the most terrifying and devastating thing about this invasion are the children killed. Alice, eight, died on the streets of Okhtyrka while her grandfather tried to protect her. Or Polina from Kiev, who died in the bombing with her parents. 14-year-old Arseniy. she was shot in the head and could not be saved because an ambulance was unable to reach her in time due to the intense fires, “she writes.

“The firstborn of the war saw the concrete ceiling of a basement, their first breath was the acrid air of the underground and they were greeted by a trapped and terrified community. At this point, there are several dozen children who they have never known peace in their lives, “writes Zelenska.

Russian President Vladimir Putin underestimated the resistance of the Ukrainians, he adds, saying that according to “the Kremlin the Ukrainians would have welcomed them with flowers as saviors and instead they were welcomed with Molotov cocktails”. Zelenska also thanks the support provided to his country from all the people in the world and echoes President Zelensky’s demands for a no fly zone over Ukraine: “Close the sky and we will manage the war on the ground ourselves.”
