Polish President Andrzej Duda on the crimes of Russian invaders in Ukraine: This is not a war, this is terrorism.
According to an UNIAN correspondent, he said this in a statement following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky together with the presidents of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
According to Duda, more than 2.5 million Ukrainians have already arrived in Poland, who were forced to leave their homes due to the Russian invasion.
He stressed that he had arrived with his fellow presidents in Kyiv to stand next to the Ukrainian leader and shake his hand.
“To say that we admire his heroism, the heroism of his team, of all Ukrainian soldiers who give their lives every day for their homeland,” the President of Poland stressed.
Duda noted that during his visit to the liberated settlements in the Kiev region he saw two faces of this war. The first is the Ukrainian military, who fought against the Russian invaders, observing all the rules and principles of war.
“And we saw the second face of this war, which is difficult to understand… These are bombarded residential areas, destroyed residential buildings. Not military facilities, but ordinary houses where ordinary people live… I saw these ruins on television, and now I saw them in real life. It’s hard to believe it. That’s why I told Mr. President Zelensky that this is not a war, but terrorism … this is cruelty and banditry … “, he said.
