Since the full-scale war on Ukraine began a week ago, approximately 9,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, according to Ukraine’s president.
“About 9,000 Russians were killed in a week. In the direction of Mykolaiv, they had to take 200, 300 (Russian soldiers) 19-20 years old with dozens of helicopters,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an address to the nation.
“Wherever they go, they will be destroyed. The invaders will get their answer from the Ukrainians,” Zelenskyy said, adding this is a “Patriotic War” for Ukrainians.
Noting that Ukrainians drove out the invaders from their cities with their bare hands, he added: “I sincerely admire the Ukrainians. We will drive them (Russians) away in disgrace…These are not state fighters. These are used, lost children.”
“We thwart their plans that had been prepared for years. More invaders are fleeing from us towards their homes,” he said.
Stressing that every invader should know that they will receive a fierce rebuff from the Ukrainians, Zelenskyy said they will not give up and that the Russians will remember this forever.
“Our army is doing everything to break the enemy once and for all. Almost 9,000 Russians have been killed in one week,” the President said.
According to him, in Mykolaiv direction, the enemy is forced to use tens of helicopters to pick up Russian dead bodies.
“19 and 20-year-olds. What have they seen in their lives except for invading someone else’s land?!” Zelensky emphasized.
Zelensky noted that the Russian army doesn’t even take away the dead bodies of its soldiers, they remain everywhere.
“Ukraine does not want to be covered with the dead bodies of soldiers. Go home with your whole army! Tell your command that you want to live, that you don’t want to die. We need to stop the war and restore peace as soon as possible,” Zelensky stressed.
