The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an evening video message, reacted to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's attempts to accuse Ukraine of a terrorist attack in the Moscow region on March 22.
Zelenskyy commented on the Russian attempts to accuse Ukraine of terrorist attacks
What happened yesterday in Moscow, obviously, both Putin and other scum are just trying to blame someone else. They always have the same methods. It already happened. And there were blown up houses, and shootings, and explosions. And they always blame others.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The President noted that the Russians, coming to Ukraine and burning our cities, blame Ukraine for this. According to the head of state, Russians don't care what happens inside their own country.
All this happened yesterday, and this worthless Putin, instead of dealing with his citizens of Russia, addressing them, remained silent for a day — thinking how to drag Ukraine into this. Everything is completely predictable.
The president stated that the hundreds of thousands of Russians who are currently being killed on Ukrainian soil would certainly be enough to stop any terrorists.
And if the Russians are ready to die silently in the "crocuses" and not ask any questions to their special services, then Putin will try to turn more than one such situation in favor of his personal power.
Zelensky noted that terrorists must always lose, and thanked everyone who truly protects life. He added that Ukrainians all over the world should protect themselves from those who consider people simply expendable.
