“Russia is choosing the Balistic (missiles) on the negotiating table. He is choosing to continue the murders instead of ending the war. And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences. Russia continues to take advantage of the fact that at least part of the world is turning a blind eye before the murdered children and looking for excuses for (the Russian president,” he said, before criticizing the “silence of China” main allies in all planes and that, for example, consumes their assets and saves their economy of the) and Hungary (the country of the European Union).
“We are waiting for China’s reaction to what is happening. China has repeatedly requested that the war is not expanded and that the fire is declared. This is not by Russia. We are waiting for Hungary’s reaction. The death of children should undoubtedly cause more emotions than anything else. We are waiting for the reaction of all those in the world who asked for peace, but now they usually keep silent instead of adopting positions,” Zelenski, while requested by new sanctions against Moscow.
