Zelenskyy: very unpleasant that some rest while others fight for life
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure over the past two weeks coincided with a period when many international partners were on vacation.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine expressed his frustration that while some were on vacation, others were bravely fighting for their lives amidst Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Zelenskyy pointed out that this situation seemed to align with the period when many international partners were also on break. He lamented that the Russian strikes seemed to be a convenient excuse for these partners to take time off, as if the bombing were somehow connected to their holiday plans.
Zelenskyy believed that if the international community had sent stronger signals, then on September 1st, the Russians, despite their apparent bravado, would have shown a bit more fear. He pointed out that Russia's targeting of infrastructure was not an effective way to disrupt the start of the school year, and that Ukraine would not be deterred.
Zelenskyy summed it up by saying that it was very unfortunate to see some people resting while others were risking their lives.
