Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has declared that God will never forgive Russia for the destruction and murder currently carried out in his country.
The Ukrainian leader said this in a new Facebook video on Sunday. Russia began its invasion of Ukraine more than a week ago, with more than 1.5 million people reported to have fled the country for safety, while hundreds were killed and wounded.
The two countries will return to the table to find a way to resolve their differences on Monday (today) but before that, the war, which is already in its second week, will continue as Ukraine vows to defend their democratic system at all costs. “Today is forgiveness Sunday. But we cannot forgive hundreds of victims. Or thousands of people who suffer,” Zelensky said. “God will not forgive. Not today. Not tomorrow. Never. And instead of forgiveness, there will be Judgment,” he said.
The president accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of plotting “deliberate murder” in the shelling of Ukrainian territory. “For tomorrow Russia has officially announced the shelling of our territory. Our company of defense complexes. Most of them were built decades ago by the Soviet government, built in cities,” he exclaimed.
He said Russia had turned its attention to killing ordinary people by shelling “ordinary urban neighborhoods,” where thousands of people work, with hundreds of thousands of civilians living nearby. He added, “This is murder. Intentional murder.”
