The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, reacted to the statement of the head of the Kremlin, Volodymyr Putin, about the use of the Oreshnik medium-range missile on the territory of Ukraine.

straight language: “Today, Putin admitted that he has already taken the second step this year to escalate, to the expansion of this war. A new ballistic missile was used. Putin hit our city of Dnipro – one of the largest cities in Ukraine. This is an obvious and serious increase in scale and brutality of this war, Russia’s cynical violation of the UN Charter. And I emphasize: this is Russia’s second step to escalation in a year. The first such step was the involvement of North Korea in the war against Ukraine – a contingent of at least 11,000 soldiers.”
Details: According to the president, Putin has taken both of these steps while ignoring everyone in the world who is calling for the war not to expand. “He doesn’t care about what China, Brazil, European countries, America, all other countries of the world are calling for,” Zelenskyi says.
He also reminded that Ukraine is not using long-range weapons for the first time and this is not a new step.
straight language: “And we have a full right to this according to the norms of international law; our right to self-defense is the same as that of any other nation. And when Russian missiles hit our cities, when Ukraine is attacked every night by Iranian “shaheds”, when in a contingent from North Korea is deployed on our border, Putin is not only prolongs the war – he simply spits in the face of those in the world who really want peace to be restored every time.
The world must react to it. Now there is no strong reaction from the world. Putin is very sensitive to this. He is checking you, dear partners. It is obvious to everyone who is the sole culprit of this war, who started this war on February 24 and invests all his resources in ensuring that the war continues. It must be stopped. If there is no strong reaction to Russia’s actions, then they see that it is possible. This is what Putin is doing.”
