Russia’s leadership is mentally “stuck in another era” and rejects the “post World War Two” world order, warned President Zelensky as he called for regime change against Moscow to remove the threat permanently.
Addressing an Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) conference remotely by a video link plagued with technical difficulties, when he could be heard the Ukrainian leader decried fresh overnight airstrikes by Russia and said: “Russia keeps launching such attacks, even when the whole world is calling on it to stop the war”.
Russia persists with the war because it doesn’t recognise “natural borders” and believes its own borders are “wherever it wants them to be”, Zelensky said, saying Moscow is “stuck in another era.
“They are mentally stuck in another century, a time of brutal violence, depredations, a total disregard for human rights and equality. We all know that such ideas and such times must never return to Europe and we all know how to protect ourselves from that, how to protect Europe from what Russia is bringing.”
