KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of trying to destroy the Donbas and all who live there.
“The constant brutal bombardments, the constant Russian strikes on infrastructure and residential areas show that Russia wants to empty this territory of all people. Therefore, the defence of our land, the defence of our people, is literally a fight for life,” he said late Friday in his nightly video address to the nation.

Pentagon said the latest 33 billion would last about 5 months. Meanwhile Zelenski still crying for more of more of more.....$$$$$$....”don’t come to visit empty handed” he said.
What a scam! Ukrainian leaders have certainly taken the world for all they can get - and it keeps on giving to that scum leadership. But we warned and still people don’t listen.
It's about territory, resources and power and don't forget warm water ports.
Did you collect your 50-ruble bonus?
Of course .
.....” the west is doing a great job fighting Vlad down to the last Ukrainian”.....
Extremely sad but true. Every time they find a mass grave site or the streets are littered with bodies - even the Ukrainian Army soldiers are trying to find a way of escape out of Ukraine.
Additionally the main reason why many Ukrainians are leaving their homeland is because of structural economic problems that preceded the conflict. What better opportunity when being welcomed as refugees.
A lot of places they were.
Lots of people here celebrated BLM and ANTIFA riots. That Don’t make either the BLM/ANTIFA or those celebrating nice people.
It looks an awful lot like the usual American double-standard.
We've declared the Monroe Doctrine and made a nice comfortable place for ourselves, and then we act indignant at any other country that would do the same.
NATO has been moving far away from the North Atlantic for decades, and it's been moving in just one direction: east.
Let's all play stupid and ignore Putin's question in Munich in 2007:
"We have the right to ask: Against whom is this (NATO) expansion intended?"
But, I thought the New York Times and Daily Mail said Ukraine was winning. So, what’s Zelensky so worried about?
Russian Air Force has been raining on the whole countryside in the last few days.
The is exactly how Clinton bombed Serbia for three straight months.

If your history book started in 2022, you would be correct.
If it went back to the CIA-backed coup of a democratically-elected president of Ukraine, you would see that despite all of our attempts at claiming innocence, the US has been provoking a conflict for some time.
Given that many of the cities the Russians have passed through are flying the Russian flag and converting their currency to rubles, it's safe to say that the majority in Donbass view the Russians as liberators.
Thousand of Ukrainian neo-Nazis have been sent. Thank God!
Stop pretending there aren't some incredibly evil people fighting the war on the Ukrainian side.
Like Kherson?
Zelensky was elected in 2019 with a landslide victory of 73% of the vote.
I tend to agree with that also.
The US supported the coup of a democratically-elected president, and we did it in Russia's backyard.
Nobody can explain why NATO is moving closer to Russia or why America is sticking its beak where it doesn't belong.
Russians have to learn once and for all, that Ukraine is not Russia's back yard, but an independent country.
No, you're missimg the point. Both sides spent money trying to influence Ukraine, the problem for Putin is that Ukrainians want to be part of Europe, because of the wealth, and not part of some Russian-Asian-Bananastan bloc.
Simple NATO is 'moving closer to Russia' because Putin keeps threatening and invading neighboring countries. That's why Finland and Sweden will join.
