From Breitbart: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said he has “emphasised” to the leaders of the countries which pay for the weapons for his army that they “must” provide financial aid for another “two or three years”.
In remarks that come as the European Union works on using frozen Russian assets as a source of funding for the donations of weapon systems to the armed forces of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country would need money for years more.
Even if the war ended early, Zelensky said Ukraine would still take the cash for rebuilding. Otherwise, he said, “then we will spend it on weapons. We simply have no other choice”, reports Agence France Presse.
It is stated Zelensky said of the conversations he’d had: “I emphasised this again to all European leaders. I told them that we are not going to fight for decades, but you must show that for some time you will be able to provide stable financial support to Ukraine… [for] two or three years”.
“It is very important to send a clear signal — look, we will finance them,” Zelenskyy said, adding, “And look — if [Russia] does not stop, we will continue to support them. This also shows to Russia that there is no point in this war, because we will not give up — and partners will not give up”.
Wednesday morning, Zelenskyy announced that Russia had just struck a children’s hospital in Kherson. He wrote:
This morning, the Russian army struck a children’s hospital in Kherson. They could not have been unaware of where they were striking. This was a deliberate Russian attack specifically against children, against medical personnel, against basic guarantees of life in the community. The hospital sustained heavy damage, and sadly, there are injured among both the staff and the children who were being treated there. The youngest wounded child is eight years old—the boy himself was wounded, as were his mother and brother. At the moment of the strike, about a hundred people were inside the hospital. And Russia is not even ashamed to consider such facilities as targets.
Russia is now the largest terrorist organization in the world, which is not only dragging out its terrorist war but also trying to do everything possible to ensure that no opportunity to end the war succeeds. Russia deliberately undermines every meaningful diplomatic effort, discredits those helping to protect life, and seeks to create new sources of destabilization in Europe to make it harder for Europeans to assist Ukraine.
And this year, as the United States has made such significant efforts to end the war, the Russians have only increased the audacity and scale of their strikes. Nothing convinces Russia except pressure and strength. America’s recent step was the right one—substantial sanctions against Russian oil companies. Such measures must continue—to rein in Russia’s brazenness, deprive it of the means to prolong the war, and create a real motive for Moscow to end this war. Terrorists must be dealt with only as they deserve—with strength and just treatment. I thank everyone who helps Ukraine!
Сьогодні вранці російська армія вдарила по дитячій лікарні в Херсоні. Вони не могли не знати, куди б’ють. Це свідомий російський удар саме по дітях, саме по медичному персоналу, саме по базових гарантіях життя в громаді. Лікарня значно пошкоджена, і, на жаль, є постраждалі серед… pic.twitter.com/lhAGbJqt9b
