Dear European colleagues!
The tenth day of resistance to Russian terrorists. The tenth day of courage of the Armed Forces, guardsmen, border guards, rescuers, fighters of other security forces, all Ukrainians who heroically defend. Thanks to all our people, the Kremlin’s plans to subdue Ukrainians in two days, seize large cities, overthrow the state, and annex Ukraine to Russia have failed.
Ukraine protects the whole world for 10 days!
However, your silence on our Appeals continues for the fifth day.
Every day death takes away the best of us, but we continue to repel the mad dictator and his servile imperial army. Today in Kyiv region two seriously wounded children died without help due to the blockade of the enemy, the occupiers fired at the car of peaceful Ukrainians — two dead and four wounded. Yesterday, the shelling of the Russian occupiers killed 5 people, including 3 children. This is all news only from Kyiv and the region, it is very difficult for me to talk about it without tears. Understand that dozens and even hundreds of ordinary people, the same Europeans as you, are dying every day all over Ukraine.
Yes, the enemy has advanced in some directions, but controls only a small area. Our defenders are repelling and ousting the occupiers.
A cowardly terrorist, Putin, was capable of attacking only the civilian population — children, women, unarmed civilians. Targeted shelling, bombing and rocket-propelled grenades on residential neighborhoods, schools, kindergartens and hospitals, the enemy destroying temples and churches, shelling stations with thousands of evacuating women and children are tactics of frightened jackals.
The main efforts of the occupiers focused on the encirclement of Kyiv and the weakening of resistance in the settlements they blocked. Defenders of the city of Kyiv continue to repel the enemy’s offensive, inflicting damage on his offensive groups.
Given the slow pace of the offensive and the resistance of the Ukrainians, Russia is changing tactics.
To date, the Ukrainian sky is the most vulnerable. The aggressor comprehensively and actively uses its air and missile potential. Aviation of all kinds bombs cities, towns and civilian infrastructure, including critical and dangerous nuclear and hydropower plants.
«Everyone who is blocking the closure of the skies over Ukraine, remember April 1986 … A radioactive cloud from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant passed over the European part of the then USSR, mostly Europe, the eastern part of the United States. Today we are talking about Zaporizhzhya NPP — the largest in Europe. And now imagine what will happen if another Russian missile hits the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which has six power units. Currently, the Zaporizhzhya NPP site as well as the Chernobyl NPP are under the control of the Russian armed forces. Is the world ready for a catastrophe six times more powerful than the Chernobyl accident? This is not about a war somewhere far away in Ukraine. It’s about your safety. And about the nuclear security of the whole world, «said the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov to the United States and NATO countries and called for an immediate closure of the skies over Ukraine. Arguments that NATO is trying to avoid a nuclear war by refusing to introduce A2 / AD are no longer convincing — Russia has already started it.
I don’t think many of you will understand what it’s like to live under fire every day. The war in Ukraine is a constant air alert, explosions, destroyed houses and one human hope — to survive another day.
Dear our partners, colleagues, friends! Do not stay away, help the Ukrainian people to save their children, women and the elderly. Without your help, we will not be able to survive this terrible tragedy.
Once again, I appeal to you: by all possible and impossible ways of influence, I ask you to help close the skies over Ukraine, so that the deaths of innocent people finally stop, and there was peace on this earth again.
