By KYIV. Nov 29 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Russian leadership is taking revenge on Ukraine for refusing to accept its orders, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
As the head of state noted in the evening video statement, in just one week Russia shelled 258 times 30 settlements of Kherson, the Russian army damaged the pumping station that supplies water to Mykolaiv.
"Well, what can I say about them? This is the true essence of those random comrades who took possession of Russia. After 20 years of ruling over a significant part of their state, they have such devastation as if there had been a war there. And this is not a war – it is they who have gone through. They are not capable of anything but destruction. This is all they leave behind," Zelensky said.
"What they are doing now against Ukraine is their attempt to take revenge. In order take revenge for the fact that the Ukrainians have already defended themselves from them more than once," he said.
According to the president, Ukraine will never be a place for devastation.
"Ukraine will never accept orders from these comrades from Moscow. We will do everything to restore every object destroyed by infidels, every house, every enterprise," he said.
