Zelensky: Russia is sowing deep hatred among Ukrainians

According to Zelensky, this is happening after continuing rounds of artillery and air bombings are turning cities into rubble, killing civilians and taking others to shelter.

You're doing everything you can to get our people out of Russian, because the Russian language will now only be connected to you, your explosions and your murders, with your crimes”, Zelensky said in a video speech late Saturday.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has started on February 24th, causing destruction and many deaths.

Russian missiles hit the western Ukrainian town of Lviv on Saturday, while President Joe Biden visited neighbouring Poland, serving as a reminder that Moscow is willing to strike everywhere in Ukraine, despite its claim that it is focusing its offensive to the east of the country.

Early Sunday, a chemical wind remained in the air as firefighters in Lviv sprinkled water on a burnt section of an oil plant hit in the Russian attack.

A security guard in the country, Prokopiv Yaroslav, said he saw three missiles hitting and destroying two oil tanks, but no one was hurt.

The second “dropped me to the ground,” he said.

successive Russian air strikes rocked the town that has returned to a shelter for about 200,000 people who have had to flee their homeland. Lviv had been spared mainly since the beginning of the invasion, though the missiles hit a repair facility near the main airport a week ago.
