KYIV, April 5 – The article "What Russia should do with Ukraine", published by the RIA Novosti agency, is one of the evidence for the future tribunal against Russian war criminals, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday, speaking via video link to the Romanian parliament.

"It's not just text. This is one of the evidence for the future tribunal against Russian war criminals," he said.

According to Zelensky, "the article describes a clear and well-thought procedure for the destruction of everything that makes Ukrainians Ukrainians. It is said that it is necessary to carry out 'de-Ukrainization' and 'de-Europeanization' of Ukraine. It is said that even the name of our state should be erased. In fact, it is said that the death of the largest number of our people in the war is only welcome."

"I want you to understand me: they are not even hiding. They openly talk about the purpose of the invasion of the territory of Ukraine. If our army had not survived, if our people had not risen to defend the state, they would have done what they did in Bucha - but on the entire territory of Ukraine," Zelensky said. (om/ez)
