The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has appeared tonight for the first time in his officefrom where he recorded a video to demonstrate once again that he is in Kiev to direct, “without fear of anyone”, the defense of the country against the Russian military offensive.
In the late-night video, which begins with a window shot of the government quarter, Zelensky said: “This is the night of Kiev. Monday night on the twelfth day of our fight, our defense.”
“We are all here, we are all working. Everyone is where they should be. I am in Kiev, my team accompanies me“, he remarked. “I am here, I remain in Kiev. On Bankova street. I do not hide. And I’m not afraid of anyone. (I’ll be here) as long as it takes to win this patriotic war“, added the Ukrainian ruler.
He recalled that there was an agreement on humanitarian corridors to evacuate the civilian population but it was frustrated for the third consecutive day: “It worked? Instead, the Russian tanks did work“, he stressed.
The President of Ukraine assured that the Russian forces “they even mined the road” for which the frustrated evacuation of the civilian population from Mariupol, in the south of the country, should have taken place, and that the Russian military came to destroy “the buses that are supposed to take people out.”
He also maintained that negotiations with Russia will continue to stop the war after the third round held on Monday in Belarusian territory: “I would like to say that it was the third and last, but we are realistic. Therefore, we will talk. We will insist on negotiations until we find the way to tell our people and the world: so we will reach peace“, he claimed.
