President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Russians in Russian. The performance was published in his Telegram channel.
The head of state said that Russians and Ukrainians are different, but “this is no reason to be enemies.” “We do not need war, neither cold, nor hot, nor hybrid. But we will defend ourselves,” he said.
According to Zelensky, the Russians are under the delusion that Ukraine can pose a threat to Russia. “This was not in the past, it is not now and will not be in the future,” the politician said.
Earlier, Zelensky said that he initiated a conversation with the head of Russia Vladimir Putin, but did not receive a response to this proposal. “The result is silence. Although there should be silence in the Donbass,” he said.
