Ukrainians are only defending their land and trying to bring back peace.

“Not to yours — to our land. To our people. We are doing everything to end this war. And when we succeed, it will certainly happen, you will be sure of at least one thing: your children will no longer be sent to die on our land, on our territory,” he said.

The Ukrainian President said Russia’s original plan “already failed” in the first two days of the invasion but Russia is still “getting manpower from everywhere.”

“Equipment. Air bombs, missiles. Looking for mercenaries around the world. Any scum capable of shooting at civilians,” Zelensky said.

“Russian troops destroy our cities. Kill civilians indiscriminately. Rape women. Abduct children. Shoot at refugees. Capture humanitarian convoys. They are engaged in looting. They burn museums, blow up schools and hospitals. The target for them is universities, residential neighborhoods … Anything! Russian troops do not know the limits of evil.”

Zelensky also asked politicians attending the NATO Summit, EU Summit, and G7 Summit to support Ukraine.

“At these three summits we will see who is a friend, who is a partner, and who betrayed us for money,” he said.

The President repeated his requests for a no-fly zone over Ukraine, saying the Ukrainian sky has not been made safe from Russian bombs and Kyiv has not received aircraft, modern anti-missile weapons, or tanks.

The war continues to ravage Ukraine and Ukrainian forces push back the Russian aggressors. They are successfully defending Kyiv as Russia appeared to have been stalled in encircling the city.

He drew parallels with the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict with that of World War II.

“Western leaders kept saying they were afraid to aggravate Hitler and they thought well, if you’re not showing any resistance, eventually he’ll stop,” he said. “However, that mistake has cost hundreds of millions of human lives. Hundreds of millions of human lives were lost and the same mistake is being committed now.”

NATO has been reluctant to respond to Russia’s military threat because they said it could escalate the war.

Khodorkovsky also commented on the influence of tycoons on President Vladimir Putin. It was “preposterous” to think the tycoons had any real influence over Putin.

“Oligarchs are not true oligarchs in the sense that they actually do not influence Putin,” he said.

“Yet they are Putin’s instruments of influence and to see for real who has broken their relations with Putin would be when they actually denounce him and when they admit that he is a war criminal. And if that doesn’t happen, that means they still depend on him and they’re still dangerous.”

On the ground, Ukraine’s forces are being helped by Russia’s corruption, Khodorkovsky said, adding: “the level of (Russia’s) unpreparedness has come as a great surprise to me.”

It comes after US sources said that the Russian military is facing food and fuel shortages, as well as logistical and sustainment issues. According to one officer, there are signs that some Russian soldiers have suffered frostbite as a result of their lack of cold-weather gear.
