“I propose to the Russian Federation: exchange this guy of yours for our guys and girls now held in Russian captivity,” — President Volodymyr Zelenskiy
U.S. President Joe Biden referred to Russia’s attack on Ukraine as genocide for the first time, saying “we’ll let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies, but it sure seems that way to me.”
“I propose to the Russian Federation: exchange this guy of yours for our guys and girls now held in Russian captivity,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an early morning address on Wednesday. Zelenskiy mocked Putin in his address: “How could a plan that provides for the death of tens of thousands of their own soldiers in a little more than a month of war come about?”During his comments on Tuesday, he frequently seemed to ramble or stammer.
“We urgently need more heavy weapons to prevent further Russian atrocities,” Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter as he hailed Biden’s comments on genocide.Moscow’s nearly seven-week long incursion, the biggest attack on a European state since 1945, has seen more than 4.6 million people flee abroad, killed or injured thousands and led to Russia’s near total isolation on the world stage.
Ukrainian marines on Tuesday were holed up in the Azovstal industrial district. Reuters journalists accompanying Russian-backed separatists saw flames billowing from the Azovstal district.
