THE Ukraine will never succumb to ultimatums from Russia and cities like Kyivthe Mariupol or the Kharkiv will not accept Russian occupation stressed the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky as broadcast by Reuters.
“Ukraine can not accept any Russian ultimatum. “They must destroy us all first, only then will their ultimatums be respected,” he told the Suspilne website, which also posted a video of the interview.
“We (the Russians) are sending an ultimatum, here are all the points, keep them and then we will stop the war”: it is not right, there will be no results “, he continued, repeating that” the people are united “.
Moscow would like, for example, to hand over the cities of Kharkov, Mariupol or Kiev, the capital, Zelensky explained. However, “neither the residents of Kharkov, nor those of Mariupol or Kiev, nor here the president himself, can do it,” he stressed. “And we see it in the occupied cities of Melitopolis, Berdyansk (…) people are resisting. “(The Russians) are raising a flag, people are raising it,” he continued.
“What do you want; Destroy us all. That’s why I answer: we will not be able to obey this ultimatum unless we are no longer here, “he concluded.
