The Arabnews reported, citing the AFP, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday (May 8) that Russia has forgotten everything that mattered to the victors of World War II. This comes a day before Moscow commemorates the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazi Germany.

Denouncing Russia’s heavy shelling in the east of the country including one strike on a school that he says killed 60 people, he added: “Russia has forgotten everything that was important to the victors of World War II.”

Zelensky in his nightly address said that while normal people associated the anniversary with peace and the slogan “Never again!,” Russia was continuing its attacks.

He added: “As a result of the Russian air strike on Bilogorivka of the Lugansk region, about 60 people were killed."

Прошу всіх наших громадян – і особливо цими днями – не ігнорувати сигналів повітряної тривоги. Будь ласка, це ваше життя, життя ваших дітей. А також чітко дотримуватися розпоряджень щодо громадського порядку та комендантської години, які є в містах і громадах. Обов'язково дотримуйтеся, будь ласка, заборони на відвідування лісів у тій місцевості, яка була окупована. Там зберігається велика загроза від мін і розтяжок, які залишилися після російських військових.

“Civilians who simply hid in the school from the shelling. It was a targeted blow to the school. Another crime of the occupiers.”

“I am sure that today Ukraine has shown that we are already a full-fledged part of the free world and a united Europe.”
