Quote from Zelenskyy: "The length of the front line on Ukrainian land is 2,500 kilometres.
Active military operations that involve the use of all possible kinds of weapons – except, fortunately, weapons of mass destruction – continue on the line of 1,300 kilometres. Imagine this scale! It's like the road from Kyiv to Prague."
Details: Zelenskyy noted that Russia uses "everything it has" on the front. He also reiterated that the Russian Federation has many weapons and shells left from the Soviet Union.
"Mass terror against people in the occupied territory has reached a level that Europe saw only during World War II from the Nazis," the president said.
He stressed that Rosatom and the entire Russian nuclear industry should receive blocking sanctions for radiation blackmail at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Zelenskyy also calls for a complete block of the Russian banking system and Russian television in the EU, and for a closure of EU territory for Russian citizens.
