Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

I came [to power] as a president of peace; I want to end the war. Today, for the first time, you don’t understand that society is the most important thing to me. You and I understand that we are human beings, and the community is what matters the most. The public did not vote for a president who would come and say that from today we are at war, that we are at war, that we will fight, and that our army is ready; that we will start a war in Donbas, that we will reclaim our territories through war and with the army, that we do not care how many people will die, but we are ready to take back our land, we are ready for direct military action on the occupied territories. If you think that way, then we should invade Crimea, even though our army is not ready. I, as president, am not ready to sacrifice our people, so I choose the diplomatic path.

Zelensky was threatened with death for making concessions to Russia

The former head of the Odessa Right Sector (an organization recognized in Russia as an extremist and terrorist organization and banned), Ukrainian volunteer Sergei Sternenko, threatened the head of state with death in an interview with the Times.

"If Zelensky had given up at least some unconquered land, he would have been a corpse, both politically and realistically," he said.
