Zelenskyy says Russia’s actions ‘beyond words’ after missile destroys museum
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that everyday of this war, Russian forces does something that is “beyond words,” following a strike against a museum in Ukraine.
“Every day of this war, the Russian army does something that is beyond words. But every next day it does something that makes you feel it in a new way,” he said in a regular late-night address on Saturday.
“Targeted missile strikes at museums — this is not even every terrorist can think of,” Zelenskyy added.
The museum that was destroyed is dedicated to the 18th century philosopher and poet Hryhoriy Skovoroda.
But this is the kind of army that is fighting Ukraine, and “this is what they want to bring to other European countries,” he said.
As of May 7, the Russian army has destroyed or damaged nearly 200 cultural heritage sites, according to Zelenskyy.
