Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine
Zelensky will address students at 63 US universities and two Canadian universities, and is expected to address Stanford University in late May and attendees of the Davos Forum.
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky said late on Sunday that the Ukrainian armed forces will not stop until they recover Donbass and Russian troops cease their offensive in the country.
“We are continuing very complicated and delicate negotiations to save our people from Mariúpol, from the Azovstal steelworks,” the Ukrainian president explained in a press release from the presidency.
Thus, he pointed out that “the occupiers still do not want to admit that they are at an impasse and that their so-called ‘special operation’ has already gone bankrupt”.
“All this brutality of the occupiers, which Ukraine is experiencing every day, will only lead to the fact that the surviving Russian soldiers will bring evil back to Russia, they will return it because they will withdraw,” Zelensky said.
Likewise, the president reiterated that he was working for countries to strengthen sanctions against Russia. “The priority is the oil embargo,” he said.
Zelensky will address students at 63 US universities and two Canadian universities, and is expected to address Stanford University in late May and attendees of the Davos Forum.
“I am also preparing to communicate with Ukrainian students from leading universities in our country,” he stressed.
In this sense, he declared that he intended to extend his interventions to the Parliaments of Africa and Asia.
As reported by the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform, Zelensky on Sunday dismissed the commander of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces, Yuri Halushkin, and appointed Major General Igor Tantsiura in his place.
