V. Zelenskyy: Russia uses phosphorous bombs in Ukraine

On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of deploying phosphorus weapons in his nation and begged NATO to help.

“Phosphorus bombs were used this morning, by the way. Phosphorus bombs from Russia. Adults and children were both murdered once more “During a video speech to the US-led military alliance, Mr. Zelenskyy remarked. Zelenskyy wants NATO military aid to be unfettered.

On Thursday, one month after Russia invaded Ukraine, Mr. Zelenskyy urged NATO to supply Kyiv with unfettered military aid. “Ukraine requires unrestricted military aid to preserve its people and cities. In the same way that Russia is utilizing its entire arsenal against us with no constraints, “Ukraine’s president spoke to NATO leaders via video link.

Zelenskyy warns that Russia’s neighbors are in danger

In a presentation to Swedish parliamentarians, Mr. Zelenskyy warned that Russia will “destroy freedom” in Europe and pursue its neighbors. In a video connection speech that received a standing ovation, he stated, “If Ukraine does not endure and protect ourselves, it will imply that… all of Russia’s neighbors are in danger from now on.”

“Russia went to war with Ukraine because it wants to expand further in Europe and undermine Europe’s freedom.”

He called for Europe to issue hard-hitting weekly sanctions packages against Russia, saying, “This is a serious challenge for the European security and defense system.”

He warned Sweden that Moscow has its sights set on the Baltic Sea island of Gotland. After Russia’s invasion of Crimea, Sweden reactivated its garrison on Gotland in 2018, after closing it in 2004. “It would suggest that you are in danger,” he added, “since the only thing that separates you is the sea and this aggressive policy.”

“Russian propagandists already describe how Russia will seize Gotland and dominate it for decades on the air, on TV broadcasts,” he added.

“They believe it would be convenient to station anti-defense equipment and bases there to cover the Baltic states’ advance.” Mr. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Sweden for its assistance after the country decided to supply weaponry to a war-torn country for the first time since 1939. 

Stockholm, which is not a member of NATO and is officially a non-aligned military, announced the delivery of 5,000 anti-tank launchers for the second time on Thursday. Since Russia’s invasion, support for NATO membership has risen in Sweden, but Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson has so far dismissed the proposal. She claims that joining the alliance will “destabilize” northern Europe.
