Zelensky: Only one person must be stopped for millions to survive

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said that today the world must stop only one person for millions to survive.

The Ukrainian president said this in his address to the Italian parliament via video link, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

“So more sanctions are needed, even more pressure, so that Russia is looking for peace. So that the same one person is looking for peace. The consequences of this war are already felt in many parts of the world. Not only in Europe…  Ukrainians will always remember your warmth, your care and your strength that must stop one person. Just one person for millions to survive,” Zelensky said.

According to the president, the Russian Federation has been preparing for this large-scale invasion of Ukraine for a long time. “This is a war that Russia has been preparing for a long time. Which one person has been preparing for a long time. One! For decades. Earning crazy money on oil and gas exports and directing them to prepare for war. And not only against Ukraine. Their goal is Europe. Decisive influence on your life, control over your policy, destruction of your values. Not only ours. Democracy, human rights, equality, freedom... The same values as ours,” Zelensky said.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, conducting massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles.
