“There’s not a single peace initiative in the world that Russia hasn’t rejected. They dislike everything. They only like ruins and murders. They must be held accountable for this,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on June 5.
Dear Ukrainians!
Today, the Russians struck Kherson again – twice in one day. They destroyed the regional administration building – yet another civilian structure. It’s not the first time they’ve attacked this building, but today’s strike was clearly demonstrative. There was no military logic behind it whatsoever. And all of this – every such strike – has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called “root causes” of the war that Moscow likes to talk about. It’s about the fact that they are obsessed with war, consumed by hatred and the desire to destroy the lives of other nations. You can only defeat such ones with force – the force of diplomacy, sanctions, weapons and technology. The Russian army has destroyed the lives of the peoples of the Caucasus. They destroyed lives in Syria. They’ve even gone to Africa – to sell their brutality to local warlords. Russia takes pride in this – takes pride in its ability to kill – and frankly, that’s the only thing this state has ever really learned to do. The strike on Pryluky in the Chernihiv region today. Russian drones killed the family of a Ukrainian rescuer – a man whose life was dedicated to saving others. And Russia did this to him, as it has to so many others… There were strikes on Kharkiv, on the Sumy and Donetsk regions, Nikopol, communities in the Zaporizhzhia region, villages in the Kherson region. This is the daily reality of what the Russians, unfortunately, are allowed to do. The world, unfortunately, is allowing them to do it. But we see how many people around the world are with us no matter what.
