Ukraine's President Zelensky asserted that Russia's assaults on Kharkiv are not retaliatory actions but are intended for complete devastation. He emphasized Russia's aim of total annihilation, a threat to any city or village they occupy.
Zelensky reiterated, no matter what anyone says, these Russian assaults are exclusively aimed at destruction. Russia is merely interested in looting Ukraine's military infrastructure and precious resources. For the past 11 years, Russia has given Ukraine nothing but ruin and death. He called upon the global community to maintain international pressure on Russia, warning against any relaxation, since Russia dismisses peace proposals and prepares for continued warfare.
