Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to journalists on Thursday in Kyiv, standing amid rubble from overnight Russian strikes on the city. At least 22 people were killed and dozens more wounded, according to Ukrainian officials, with the death toll expected to rise. NovynyLIVE, a Ukrainian news outlet, published several videos of Zelensky’s remarks on Telegram. Meduza transcribed and translated them below.

      Did you have anything else to say about it?

      There are countries we’ve reached agreements with, countries we’ve already paid — for example, with Norway. I won’t say where else, but there’s a commitment to pay for 200 missiles. And of those 200 missiles, not a single one has arrived.

        there’s really nothing more to add. the begga king “paid” with money he didn’t even have, and now he’s waiting for an overnight delivery from amazon, because apparently someone can carve 200 boom tubes out of a magic tree in a single afternoon.

          Saying this from such a high throne. Your country is so safe from being invaded, as Russians never owned half of anyone’s land. After Ukraine falls and Poland falls I wonder who’s gonna be next, as NATO won’t jump to help anyone

            Oh, so we’re talking about realistic scenarios of how things might play out. Would that happen after Burkina Faso abandons their Mars base?
