Zelenskiy's words
Russia attacked residential areas with rockets, he said, adding: "The destruction of residential buildings [with] missiles and artillery is the ultimate reason for the world to stand by our side in preventing the occupiers from invading." ”
Zelenskiy said Ukraine now "has the full support of almost all (all) EU member states to exclude Russia from SWIFT".
SWIFT refers to the international payment system. This has been at the heart of the debate on sanctions against Russia.
"I hope Germany and Hungary have enough courage to support this decision," he said. "
He also said Ukraine had already won membership in the European Union. "This is the decisive moment to conclude many years of discussion about Ukraine 's (whether it should) join the European Union".
He again called on ukrainians to resist the Russian invasion.
"Every Ukrainian should remember one thing: if you can stop and destroy the occupiers, do it," he said. Everyone who can return to Ukraine is (and should) come back to defend Ukraine. ”
He also called on volunteers from abroad to join ukrainians.
"All the friends who want to join us, come on! We'll give you weapons. ”
Zelenskiy switched to Russian and again shouted directly to the Russians.
He thanked Dmitry Muratov, the head of the Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and others in Russia for their anti-war actions, saying: "The Russians were sent to die, thousands to die, to kill. ”
