Zelensky on "not-so-sober" statement by Russia’s Medvedev: No one falls for “judgment day” threats

No one accepts the intimidation by Russian politicians about the alleged "judgment day" for Ukraine. At the same time, judgment day will come for Russia in the literal sense for the crimes committed by the terrorist state.

That’s according to President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, who spoke of this in a video address to the nation on Sunday, Ukrinform reports.

"Today, another not-so-sober statement about the alleged ‘judgment day’ for Ukraine came from Russia. Of course, no one will accept such intimidation. But look how cynical it is to say such a thing today – on the anniversary of the destruction of the Malaysian Boeing by Russia in the sky over the Ukrainian Donbas. In an apparent act of terrorism, 298 people were killed: 80 children, citizens of 10 countries. Even then, Russia was following this path – toward the status of a terrorist state and toward a special tribunal, which will definitely hear Russian aggression against Ukraine. This will be a judgment day for Russia – not in a figurative sense, not as some loud statement, but literally," the president emphasized.

The head of state noted that as of 19:00 today, Russia has already used more than 3,000 missiles and an infinite number of artillery and other projectiles against Ukraine. Zelensky assured that all Russian war criminals will be held accountable.

It was previously reported that on July 17, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Dmytro Medvedev, at a meeting with World War 2 veterans in Volgograd, threatened Ukraine with "judgment day" in the event of a Ukrainian attack on Crimea.
