However, the minister wanted to add one more thing: “I wanted to doublecheck the date of this video, because you should understand one thing… No, you cannot understand it,” he adds, visibly disturbed. “You cannot understand how it feels, after seeing the pictures of Bucha, speaking to people who fled “the massacre of Ukrainian civilians”, to know that a person you know has been dead for days raped and when she finally arrives in Kyiv, she went straight to the psychiatric hospital,” Kuleba said during the point with the press.
“They cannot understand how it feels when Russian soldiers rape children,” says the Ukrainian foreign minister. “They don’t understand how it feels when a Russian soldier rapes a child. That’s no excuse for those who broke the rules of war on the other side of the front line, on the Ukrainian side, but there are things that just don’t. you can understand”.
