Olena Zelenska could not talk on the phone or go on the air in person due to the high risks of danger, so she sent text messages to the TV channel. Here are some theses from her statement:
“Today, our country and our civilians are paying a very high price for silence and hesitation on this issue. Yesterday innocent women and children were in the Mariupol maternity hospital. Because of the Russian war, we lost more than 71 children – a genocide of the Ukrainian people. “
“Moreover, millions of people suffer in Mariupol, Kharkiv, Irpin, Sumy and other cities. They have no water, food or medicine. Russian soldiers block humanitarian aid. We need to stop this. When I say “we”, I mean the whole world. “
In her address, Zelenskaya called on the citizens of the United States and the world to influence their leaders so that they “do not allow our children to die.”
“In this struggle, as a nation, we are becoming stronger and tougher. I want the US and EU sanctions against Russia to be the same: stronger and tougher. We ask NATO to close our skies on behalf of all the people of Ukraine, or at least provide us with planes so that we can defend our skies ourselves. ”
The First Lady also addressed Ukrainian women.
“You give life in bomb shelters, soothe children with lullabies, while Russian aircraft continue to destroy our peaceful Ukrainian cities. I admire your strength. A force that becomes stronger than a hammer, ”Olena Zelenska summed up.
