Zelenskyy reacted harshly to Russia's missile strike on Kharkiv
You have to be an outright scoundrel and despise life to launch such missile strikes on an ordinary city — on Good Friday, on the eve of Easter. And when we turn to our partners, primarily the United States, for Patriot systems and missiles that can protect against this Russian evil — from cruise missiles, from ballistic missiles — we turn to the protection that every nation deserves.
Zelenskyy stated that it should not be the case that some people deserve more help and some less.
And it is Christian to help. Especially when there is such an opportunity to help. And it should not be the case that some terrorist can somehow avoid the consequences, although he destroys lives just like another. Russia deserves at least tough sanctions, which are a retribution for everything it does.
