He explained, “The occupants know exactly which object is being shelled.” “It doesn’t matter to them what they turn into ruins.”
Ukraine petitions UNESCO to “remove Russia from the organization’s membership.” It “destroyed so many historical, cultural and social sites in Europe since World War II.”
“We expect a logical and fair response from the UN and UNESCO,” Zelensky said.
“It is the United Nations, and its charter does not provide for association with terrorists. Russia’s isolation must be complete, it must be held accountable for its crimes.”
