Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russia destroyed Ukrainian cities as it did in Syrian cities in recent years.
“The Syrian people have not received adequate international protection, which gives a sense of impunity to the Kremlin and its accomplices,” Zelensky said in a videotape posted on his Twitter account.
“Russian bombings destroyed Syrian cities just as they destroyed our Ukrainian cities, and much of the Kremlin’s current aggression is due to impunity.”
The Ukrainian president declared that the sanctions his country imposed on Syrian regime head Bashar al-Assad on Saturday are “part of the global pressure on Russia and anyone who manufactures weapons for terrorism and aids aggression against Russia and Ukraine”. “
“Those who support Russia’s subversion of international law may only be marginal to the world and will be held accountable for what they have done to our people, the people in general, and international law.”
He also stressed that “in this account, those who carry out terrorism against the Ukrainian people due to their attempt to annex our lands, especially Crimea, will be held responsible for Russia’s attacks on the international system.” especially against the peaceful daily life of people on Syrian territory.
On Saturday, Ukraine imposed sanctions on Bashar al-Assad, Prime Minister Hussein Arnous and Foreign Minister Faisal al-Miqdad, as part of a package of sanctions involving 300 individuals and 141 organizations, mostly from Russia and Iran.
It is noteworthy that Bashar Assad, in his last meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin a few days ago, affirmed his support for the invasion of Ukraine, claiming that Russia “is facing old and new Nazism”.
