On March 6, Russia has officially announced the shelling of Ukrainian defence companies, which are located among the ordinary areas where thousands of people work and hundreds of thousands live nearby. President Volodymyr Zelenskyi criticized Western leaders, none of whom responded to such allegations of deliberate killings and atrocities. The head of state accused Western politicians of silence.
«For tomorrow, Russia has officially announced the shelling of our territory, our defence enterprises. Most were built decades ago, back in Soviet times, built in cities. And now, they are among the usual urban environment. Thousands of people work there, hundreds of thousands live nearby. This is a premeditated murder. And today, I haven’t heard a reaction to this announcement from any world leader, any Western politician. Think about the feeling of impunity of the occupiers. They announce the atrocities that are planned. Why? Because there is no reaction, because there’s silence. Not a word about Western leaders dissolving tonight, this day. I hope that at least tomorrow, you will notice it, react, say something,» – Zelenskyi stressed in his yesterday’s address.
The current audacity of the aggressor is nothing but a clear signal to the West that sanctions against Russia are currently insufficient. Because the citizens of this country did not understand, did not feel, did not see the determination of the world and the desire to really stop this war. The President stressed that no one will be able to escape from reality, from new murders in Ukraine.

Today, instead of the promised humanitarian corridors, the occupiers continue to fire on civilians, arranging «bloody corridors».
«We will punish everyone who committed atrocities in this war on our land. We will find every bastard who shot at our cities, at our people, who bombed our land, who launched rockets, who gave orders and pressed for launch. You will not have any quiet place on this earth, except the grave,» – Volodymyr Zelenskyi stressed.
Although yesterday, Eastern Christians celebrated Forgiveness Sunday, we will never forgive the enemy for what we have experienced. According to the president, God will not forgive this today, tomorrow or ever. Judgment Day will be in place of forgiveness.
We will remind that on March 6, Russia announced new blows on the Ukrainian enterprises of a defence complex. The aggressor also suggested the people living in these areas to evacuate in order not to become victims of its «high precision» weapons.
