Every strike on our territory will have legal consequences for Russia – Zelensky

Every Russian attack on Ukrainian territories - Kharkiv city, Kharkiv, Sumy and Donetsk regions - will have certain legal consequences for the terrorist state.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his video address to the nations, Ukrinform reports, referring to the president’s press service.

“This week, we received strong signals from our partners, and concrete agreements regarding the inevitability of holding Russia accountable for aggression, for terror against Ukraine and its people. Every Russian attack on the city of Kharkiv and the region, Sumy region and Donetsk region, Khmelnytskyi, our Nikopol, and every corner of our state will have concrete legal consequences for the terrorist state,” he said.

According to the President, it applies not only to the evil that Russia has brought since February 24, 2022, but also since 2014.

“We remember everything. We remember Ilovaisk, we remember the Donetsk airport. We remember the battles for Debaltseve – especially today – and every attack on our people. We have to restore justice. We will do it. Let's do it together with the whole world,” Zelensky said.

The President thanked all those who are currently defending Ukraine on the battlefield.

“I want to thank all those, who are currently defending the state on the battlefield. I especially want to note everyone, who defends Donetsk region. The most brutal and principled fighting is going on there. Confrontation, which a lot of what we are preparing for the near future depends on,” he said.
