Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that his country should face the fact that it will not join the NATO military alliance led by the United States, a main Russian worry cited to justify its invasion.
“Ukraine is not a NATO member. That is something we are aware of. We’d heard for years that the doors were open, but that we were never able to enter. It’s a fact that must be acknowledged,” during a video conference with military leaders, Zelensky added.
Zelensky also tweeted for the world states and leaders to make sanctions on Russia more strict. Mr Zelensky also addressed “Russian citizens,” “Russian Federation leaders,” and persons working in the Russian media’s “propaganda apparatus” in a speech to his country and the rest of the globe. He informed them that the war would end in “shame and destitution” for them, followed by “years of seclusion,” and that “what happens next depends on their actions.”

All trade with Russia must be stopped! So that it can't sponsor the killing of our children. Ukrainians all over the world! Contact politicians, talk to journalists, put pressure on business to leave the Russian market. So that their dollars & euros aren’t paid for our blood

The price for this war against 🇺🇦 must be extremely painful for Russia. This pressure is a task for all Ukrainians at home & abroad, as well as for all friends & partners of our country. Everyone in the world must take a moral stand. Not only the state, but also companies.
