Volodymyr Zelensky talks about the very serious situation that is recorded in Ukraine at the moment due to the war started by Russia, and this is because the cities of Donbas are completely destroyed under important and sustained air raids and artillery fire of the Russian army.
Volodymyr Zelensky is also asking for more support from Western partners at this crucial time for the war in Ukraine, and of course he is still asking for help in granting the status of a candidate country for accession to Ukraine, a vote to be given later today by Council of Europe.
"Since the morning, I have continued the telephone marathon for a positive decision regarding the candidacy for Ukraine. Today I talked with the leaders of 11 countries: Bulgaria, Latvia, Greece, Sweden, Estonia, Czech Republic, Belgium, Austria, Slovenia, Moldova and I talked again with the president of Lithuania, Nausėda. I expressed my full support for the situation in Russia's Kaliningrad region. I will continue this marathon, we must give maximum support to our state. We expect a key European decision during the evening.
1.418 days passed from the morning of the first attack of the invasion until the defeat of the aggressor, we must liberate our territories, and obtain victory, but quickly, much faster. This is our national goal, and we must work daily to achieve it, and not only the state, but every citizen of Ukraine, at every possible level.
Tomorrow I will continue the diplomatic phone marathon to attract maximum support for our state, and we expect a very important decision for Europe during tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Russia attacked Mykolaiv with 7 rockets, but fortunately no one was injured, although 5 people were injured by the explosions.
Kharkiv was attacked again, as well as the regions of Chernihiv, or Sumy, in Dobnas with important air and artillery attacks, the Russians' goal being the same from the beginning, to destroy the entire Donbas, step by step, in an attempt to to turn every city in the region into one like Mariupol, completely destroyed, ruined.
This is the reason why I am asking for an acceleration of arms and ammunition deliveries to Ukraine, as parity is needed on the battlefield to stop the evil army and move it beyond the borders of Ukraine. I am grateful to the US for launching an investigation to investigate the war crimes that took place, and are taking place, in Ukraine."
