Barely two and a half months after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia’s strategic defeat was “obvious.”
Moscow’s defeat was “obvious to everyone in the world and also to those who still communicate with them (the Russians),” said Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his daily video message on Thursday evening.
Only Russia does not have the courage to admit defeat. “They are cowards trying to hide this truth behind new missile, air and artillery strikes.”
The Ukrainian leader has criticized the recent Russian attacks, which hit a school in Chernihiv in the north of the country. “Of course, the Russian state is in a state where any education only hinders it,” said Zelenskyy. Russian commanders who issued such orders to shell educational institutions were “simply sick – incurable”.
In addition, 570 health facilities in Ukraine have been destroyed by Russian attacks since the beginning of the war, including 101 hospitals. “What’s the point?” Zelenskyj asked. “This is nonsense, this is barbarism.”
For him, this is a sign of Russia’s self-destruction, which the world once viewed as a cultural nation.
