President Zelensky has expressed himself in a video on Facebook critical of his Western allies. “For tomorrow, Russia has announced shelling of our territory,” he said, referring to Russia’s warning to attack Ukrainian military complexes. “I have not heard a single world leader react to this. Not a word, as if the Western leaders are dissolved tonight.” According to the president, thousands of people work in the military complexes and hundreds of thousands more live nearby. An attack on the complexes is therefore tantamount to murder, he said. “Premeditated.”
According to Zelensky, the West should respond much harder to these kinds of advance notices, for example by introducing additional sanctions. “The brutality of the aggressor is a clear signal to the West that the sanctions imposed on Russia are not enough.”
Zelensky says that all of Russia’s actions against the people of Ukraine are not forgotten. “God does not forgive. Not today, not tomorrow. Never.” The Ukrainian president wants a tribunal to be set up to try people guilty of crimes.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced an attack on military factories in Ukraine on Sunday, the AP news agency reported. Factory workers have been urged not to come to work.
