Zelensky addressed the Russians and warned them of death if they go to war against Ukraine
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, in his traditional evening address spoke about the mobilization in Russia. He advised mothers of Russian soldiers not to send them to war.
Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Russians who are subject to "partial" mobilization. He suggested that they not add to the lists of those killed.
The corresponding video appeared on his page in the social network.
Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Russians in Russian. He drew attention to the fact that there were small protests in Russian cities the day before. And he noted that thanks to Ukrainian intelligence, he knows the real mood of people in the regions of Russia.
"We see that people in Dagestan, Buryatia, other national republics and regions of Russia understand that they were simply abandoned. Thrown to death. Why, for example, Dagestanis or anyone else should die in the Kharkiv region or near Donetsk? But because one person in Russia decided so for all citizens of Russia. There is no other reason. That's what he wants. You are already complicit in all these crimes, murders and torture of Ukrainians. Because you were silent. Because you are silent", Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized.
Separately, he added that now is the time for the Russians to make a choice. For men from the Russian Federation, it is a choice: to die or to live, to become a cripple or to preserve health. For women in Russia, the choice is to lose husbands, sons, and grandchildren forever, or to try to protect them from death.
"Just think about the number of people they want to take away. We know for sure that summonses for 300,000 people were printed and signed in advance, even before this decision on mobilization appeared. Our intelligence proved it. But the Russian leadership is preparing to recruit up to a million men into the army - this is the main thing that they are keeping quiet about now," the President of Ukraine emphasized.

🎙🎙🎙 WGN Radio Ukraine Report: Ukrainians Can Criticize Their Government Even In War
Sep 23, 2022 What do you know about Ukrainian democracy? Is it real or is totally corrupt? What are UN leaders at the General Assembly forgetting to say about Ukraine?
From Biden to Truss to Macron, they speak about Ukraine’s territorial integrity. But they miss the essence of this: Putin hates Ukraine because of its democracy. Ever since the people’s 2014 Revolution of Dignity, Putin, and others, cannot control Ukraine. While Russia is putting anti-mobilization protestors in prison, Ukrainians continue their democracy and dissent even in wartime.
Here on Chicago’s WGN I share a story that hasn’t filtered into the international press yet: how Ukrainian citizens and local politicians reacted when the national police raided apartments of leading war-effort volunteers.
