For his part, President Zelensky compared Izium to Butsa and Mariupol, cities that became symbols of the atrocities of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Russian army is spreading death everywhere in its path and must be held accountable, Zelensky said, adding: “The world really needs to hold Russia accountable for this war. We will do everything for it.”
