Real reason Russia invaded our land – Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy

Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy on
Wednesday said that the aim of Russia is to erase
Ukraine, its history and people.
He passed the message in a video as the seventh
day of Moscow’s invasion of its neighbour started
with heavy shelling of the Black Sea port of
Mariupol.
Recall that Moscow on Tuesday switched to strikes
on Ukrainian cities and appeared poised for an
advance on Kyiv as the West tightened an
economic noose around Russia in retaliation.
However, Zelenskiy said the West’s response was
not enough, asking for more international support,
including backing Ukraine’s bid to join the European
Union, EU.
“This is no time to be neutral,” said Zelenskiy,
whose defiant and emotional tone in regular video
addresses have offered his country support and
leadership in the war, which he said killed nearly
6,000 Russian troops so far.
Referring to the Tuesday shelling in Kyiv next to
Babyn Yar, the site of a World War Two massacre
of thousands of Jews by German occupation troops
and Ukrainian auxiliaries, Zelenskiy said: “This strike
proves that for many people in Russia our Kyiv is
absolutely foreign.”
“They don’t know a thing about Kyiv, about our
history. But they all have orders to erase our history,
erase our country, erase us all.’’
“Don’t you see what is happening? That’s why it is
very important now that you, millions of Jews
around the world, do not stay silent. Because
Nazism is born in silence. Scream about murdering
of civilians, scream about murdering of
Ukrainians.’’
