Quote: "Today, another not-too-sober statement about the alleged ‘doomsday’ for Ukraine was heard from Russia. Of course, no one will accept such intimidation.
But look how cynical it is to say such a thing today – on the anniversary of Russia shooting down the Malaysian Boeing in the sky over the Ukrainian Donbas."
Details: Zelenskyy said that even back then, Russia was following its path to the status of a terrorist state and to a special tribunal, "which will definitely take place regarding Russian aggression against Ukraine".
"This will be a doomsday for Russia. And not in a figurative sense, not as a loudly spoken saying, but literally," Zelenskyy is convinced.
Earlier: Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev threatened Ukraine with a "doomsday" in the event of an attack on Crimea. The Presidential Office of Ukraine responded that Medvedev’s statement was pitiful.
