WASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says in an interview due to air in the US later today that Russian forces are committing genocide in Ukraine.
“This is genocide. The elimination of the whole nation and the people,” Zelensky tells the CBS program “Face the Nation,” according to a transcript provided by the network, a day after new evidence of atrocities by Russian invasion forces emerged.
“We are the citizens of Ukraine. We have more than 100 nationalities. This is about the destruction and extermination of all these nationalities,” Zelensky says.
“Is this genocide?” @margbrennan asks Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“Indeed. This is genocide,” Zelenskyy says, adding that Ukraine is being “destroyed and exterminated” by Russian forces.
