The president of Ukraine has slammed the West after no one came to aid amid Russia’s invasion and the siege of Kyiv.
Suggesting that NATO is afraid of Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country was “left alone” to deal with the overpowering enemy.
In his heated speech, the president went on to slam Russia and imply they are committing war crimes by turning peaceful populated areas into military targets.
“They’re killing people and turning peaceful cities into military targets. It’s foul and will never be forgiven,” President Zelenskyy said.
“We have been left alone to defend our state. Who is ready to fight alongside us? I don’t see anyone. Who is ready to give Ukraine a guarantee of NATO membership? Everyone is afraid.”
Zelenskyy also confirmed that the Russians have already arrived at the capital of Kyiv where deadly battles are expected to take place this weekend as the Ukrainians clash with the invaders.
In his speech, the president also urged the remaining residents to stay at home and observe curfew hours at all times.
The president’s address to the nation comes after Russian troops began forming a belt outside Kyiv with the intention to occupy the city and after chilling warning suggesting that the capital will fall to Russians by the end of the weekend.
In harrowing photos taken from the country’s capital, missiles were seen raining down in dozens during early Friday hours. Casualties are on the rise as explosions around the city are devastating heavily populated areas.
