According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Moscow does not have the courage to admit its misguided policy towards its neighbor. “They are afraid to admit that for decades they took the wrong positions and spent colossal resources to support the human zeros they wanted to build as future heroes of Ukrainian-Russian friendship,” Zelenskyy said in his daily video speech on Sunday night.
Moscow’s attempt to build its own people in Ukraine did not work. Because these people “were just used to stuffing money from Russia in their own pockets.” And to cover up these mistakes, new mistakes were made. But in doing so, Russia deprived itself of all political instruments and finally started this war.
“Pure Cowardice”
Also, Russia is trying to shift the blame for everything to Ukraine. “They took Crimea, we are supposed to be to blame for that,” Zelenskyy said. “They destroyed all normal lives in Donbass, we are supposed to be to blame for that. They have killed people in our country for eight years, we are supposed to be to blame for that.” This also applies to the destruction of the strongest economic region in Eastern Europe and the destruction of the lives of millions of people. “And finally they started a full-scale war against us, and again it’s our fault.” And all this for “sheer cowardice”, summarized Zelenskyj.
“And when cowardice increases, it becomes a catastrophe,” said the head of state. “When people don’t have the courage to admit mistakes, to apologize, to adapt to reality, they turn into monsters,” he said, referring to the Kremlin’s leadership. “And when the world ignores that, the monsters decide the world must conform to them.” However, the day will come when Russia will have to admit the truth.
