“I am here, I remain in Kiev. On Bankova Street. I am not hiding. And I am not afraid of anyone. (I will be here) as long as it takes to win this patriotic war,” added the Ukrainian ruler.
He recalled that there was an agreement on humanitarian corridors to evacuate the civilian population but it was frustrated for the third consecutive day: “Did it work? On the other hand, the Russian tanks did work,” he stressed.
The President of Ukraine assured that the Russian forces “even mined the road” along which the frustrated evacuation of the civilian population from Mariúpol, in the south of the country, was to take place, and that the Russian military came to destroy “the buses that were They’re supposed to get people out.”

He also maintained that negotiations with Russia to stop the war will continue after the third round held on Monday on Belarusian territory.
“I would like to say that it was the third and last, but we are realistic. Therefore, we will talk. We will insist on negotiations until we find a way to tell our people and the world: this is how we will reach peace,” he said.
