Zelensky: Why are hospitals a threat to Russia?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lashes Western leaders and Russia after a hospital was bombed in the city of Mariupol.

“Today is the day that defines everything. It defines who is on which side,” he says in a video posted to social media, according to a translation by the Kyiv Independent.

“Russian bombs fell on a children’s hospital and maternity hospital in Mariupol. As of now, 17 people are injured. Rescuers are still going through the debris.”

“What kind of country is Russia if it’s afraid of hospitals and maternity wards, and destroys them? Why were they a threat to Russian Federation?”

“Were there little nationalists there? Were pregnant women going to shoot missiles at Rostov? Did someone in that maternity hospital offend Russian-speaking people?”

“Dropping a bomb on a maternity hospital — it’s the ultimate proof that what is happening is genocide of Ukrainians.”

“Europeans, you can’t say you didn’t see what is happening. You have to tighten the sanctions until Russia can’t continue their savage war.”

“Together, we need to return to some Western leaders their bravery, so that they do what they should have done on the first day of this invasion: either close the Ukrainian sky or give us fighter jets so we do it ourselves.”
