He told soldiers they had “proved it was impossible to kill Ukraine”, then held a minute’s silence for the dead.
Zelensky said Ukraine was ready for peace, but only with the restoration of all occupied territory: “You see our strong army. We are step-by-step coming through our country, through the temporarily occupied territories.” “People were smiling and probably somebody knew something. And then when we returned, we saw how the flag was raised by our people. And we were just crying.”
Russia denies its troops target civilians or have committed atrocities. Mass burial sites have been found in other parts previously occupied by Russian troops, including some with civilian bodies showing signs of torture. The Russians, she said, had arrested her friend for photographing a neighbor’s home to reassure the owners it had survived a nearby shell blast. The troops had taped her friend’s hood over her eyes, put her in a cellar for a day and demanded to know for whom she was taking pictures.
