He noted that instead of dealing with his citizens, Putin was thinking about how to blame Ukraine for this.
President Vladimir Zelensky responded to the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Moscow.
“What happened yesterday in Moscow, obviously, Putin and other scum are simply trying to blame it on someone else. They always have the same methods. This has already happened. And there were blown up houses, and shootings, and explosions. And they always they blame others,” Zelensky said in an evening video message.
The President noted that the Russians came to Ukraine and are burning cities, and they are trying to blame Ukraine. “They torture, rape our people – and they are also accused. They have brought hundreds of thousands of terrorists here to Ukrainian soil, they are fighting against us, and they don’t care what is happening inside their country. Yesterday all this happened, and this is a nonentity Putin “, instead of dealing with his Russian citizens, addressing them, he was silent for a day – thinking about how to attract this to Ukraine. Everything is absolutely predictable,” the head of state said.
Zelensky said that the hundreds of thousands of Russians who are now being killed on Ukrainian soil would definitely be enough to stop any terrorists. “And if Russians are ready to die silently in crocuses and not ask any questions to their special services, then Putin will try to turn more than one such situation in favor of his personal power,” Zelensky believes.
He is convinced that terrorists must always lose and thanked everyone who defends and fights against terror.
“And we must defend ourselves as a whole from those who consider people simply consumables,” Zelensky concluded.
