The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, said in an interview with CNN, that the conditions for achieving peace must be decent, we cannot give up our lands, but after Bokza, Voydar and Mariupol, our society does not want us to talk to the Russians. Posted on Sunday.

Ukraine’s president on international aid: There will not be enough of it
He said that in the current situation of Ukraine, there will not be enough international aid for it.
We appreciate, among other things, a new military aid package approved by US President Joe Biden, but of course we need more. Unfortunately, we don’t have a technological advantage. The Ukrainian president argued with that, our people are stronger, we are defending our country.

When asked how many Ukrainian civilians have died since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Zelensky admitted that this could not be reliably assessed.
“Let’s take Wohlidar or the other cities that are now empty.” It is not possible to estimate the number of those who died and the number of those who escaped. He stressed that hundreds of thousands were evacuated from Mariupol, but thousands were taken deep into Russia, including children, and we don’t know what is happening to them.
“It’s not war – it’s genocide”
– I understand that Emmanuel Macron wants Russia to participate in the negotiations – the Ukrainian leader commented on the mediation efforts of the French president.
– But he has to understand that this is not a “operation”, it is not even a war. He stressed that it is a genocide and we have sufficient evidence of it.
