Zelenskyy says Russia poses greatest terrorist threat
- ‘Terror is a virus. And if one of the terrorists goes unpunished, it only encourages others,’ says Ukrainian head
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said “no other state in the world poses such a terrorist threat as Russia” after missiles attacked the west-central Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia, killing 23 people.
“And this, unfortunately, is not yet the final number,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. “Debris clearance is ongoing. Dozens of people are listed as missing. Heavily wounded are among those hospitalized.”
Ukraine claims the strike was conducted using Kalibr cruise missiles, one of which, according to Zelenskyy, hit a medical center.
“And if someone launched a missile attack on a medical center in Dallas or Dresden, God forbid, what would it be called? Wouldn’t it be called terrorism?” Zelenskyy said. “Can you think of any other terrorist organization that would allow itself such audacity? To kill just at the moment when its previous crimes are the subject of international discussion.”
Ukrainian leader further said “Terror is a virus. And if one of the terrorists goes unpunished, it only encourages others.”
