Unfortunately, Putin embodies Russia.
They represent two fundamentally different visions of humanity and human dignity.
There is no moral, historical, linguistic, or cultural equivalence between Ukraine and Russia.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: even if I am gone, it will not break Ukraine

Zelensky said that the assassination of the head of state will not lead to the collapse of the country. According to him, Ukraine is not one person, but a system of institutions that continue to work even during a full-scale war.
