Verbatim: "We are doing everything to end this war. And when we succeed - it will happen without a doubt - you will be sure of at least one thing: your children will no longer be sent to die on our land, on our territory. Therefore, you, the citizens of Russia, should also be interested in peace."

"Save your sons from the war. Tell the truth about the war. And if you can leave Russia to avoid paying your taxes sustaining the war, do it. "

"Isn't that nonsense? Your state collects taxes from you to make you poorer, to isolate you from the world, to make it easier to control you, and to make it easier to send you to war to die."

Details: Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine has never threatened the security of the Russian Federation.

"Even now we are doing everything just to bring peace back to our land - not to your land, to our land - for our people," he said.

Zelenskyy expressed confidence that many Russian citizens are disgusted by their country's policies.
