Quote: “[Russian ruler Vladimir] Putin does not care about understanding human life. Moreover, he does not care who speaks what language. He does not care about his own people, either civilians or soldiers.
Their breakthrough towards Kharkiv, which happened a little over two weeks ago, [ended] with military casualties of 1 to 8, one Ukrainian to eight Russians.
And tell me, somewhere out there [in Russia] this statistic is given, is he [Putin] interested in [the human casualties] or not? Before that, there were about 2,000 to 3,000 [Russian] casualties a week – I constantly receive analyses about the killing of Russian soldiers. 2,000-3,000 families lost their children. But he doesn’t care at all. Is Putin in a bathhouse at this time, or is he in a spa, which has been shown many times? He is doing something else entirely. But of course, he can’t wash his little hands of all this bloodshed.
The point is to keep the world from falling apart. The world has to unite, [otherwise] none of the countries will survive: neither Kyrgyzstan nor Kazakhstan, which has good ties with China. No one can survive a full-scale war with the Russians alone. And Ukraine [is not alone]. Ukraine is fighting alongside its people.”
Background: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine’s Defence Forces took combat control of the border areas of Kharkiv Oblast where Russian troops had entered earlier.
