“So the defense of our country, the defense of our people, is literally a fight for life,” Zelenskyy said. The cities and towns of Donbass can only survive if Ukraine stands firm. “If the Russian invaders can partially carry out their plans, they will have enough artillery and aircraft to turn all of Donbass to stone. Just like they did with Mariupol.” The port city is now just a Russian concentration camp surrounded by ruins.
