Quote: "In Donbas, the aggressors are doing everything to destroy any life in this area. Constant brutal bombings, constant Russian strikes at infrastructure and residential areas show that Russia wants to make this area uninhabited."
"Therefore, the defence of our land, the protection of our people is literally a struggle for life. For Lysychansk, Sieverodonetsk, Popasna, Kramatorsk, Slovyansk, Marinka and all the other cities and communities of Donbas which Russian troops want to turn into ruins, absolutely everything is being decided in this war."
"Only if Ukraine withstands will they live. If the Russian invaders succeed in realising their plans, at least in part, they will still have enough artillery and aircraft to destroy the entire Donbas. Just like they destroyed Mariupol."
Details: According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian defenders are beating the occupiers in all directions where they are trying to advance.
The President added that the situation in the Kharkiv region is tough, but that Ukrainian military and intelligence officers have achieved important tactical successes.
Zelenskyy added that Mariupol has now become a Russian concentration camp in the midst of the ruins.
Quote: "The city, which was one of the most developed in the region, is simply a Russian concentration camp in the midst of the ruins. And the order of the aggressors in that part of Mariupol, which they unfortunately still control, is not much different from what the Nazis did in the occupied territory of Eastern Europe."
"However, the Russian troops manage to be even more cynical than the Nazis were 80 years ago. At that time, the invaders did not say that it was the Mariupol residents and the defenders of the city who shelled and killed themselves."
