Russia repeated in Razum what it did in Bucha; The world has to respond to this - the Presidential Appeal of Ukraine
In March, Russian soldiers were captured and later kept these people in the basement. Only now, after the release of Kharkiv region, these people were saved, they are given proper medical care. Exhumation of bodies at the site of mass burial near Izium continues. As of this time, more than 440 graves have been installed. It is too early to speak about the number of people buried there, investigative actions are ongoing. There is already clear evidence of torture, mockery of people . . .
Moreover, there is evidence that Russian soldiers, whose positions were near this place, were fired at the buried one for entertainment. The world has to respond to all this. Russia repeated in Razum what it did in Bucha. And now we have just started to know the full truth about what happened at this time in Kharkiv region.
It is good that the UN structures are already preparing a group of workers who will visit this place near Izium, which will see and be able to report everyone in the UN system about what Russia's terrorists did. We will provide full access to journalists to the liberated territory and all places of bullying from people. We will give such access that will allow the world that Rashism must be convicted.
I thank all our partners, all the leaders and just our ordinary people who help fight for justice. To fight for the official recognition of Russia by the state - sponsor of terrorism, for strengthening sanctions against Russia for this terror. Today the Supreme Commander -in -Chief. As always, key leaders of the defense and security sector were present, the key representatives of the central government, who ensure the implementation of the defense plan.
Operational directions were reported to the forefront situation. In addition to quite clear issues and solutions, the topics of promising weapons have also affected, which will significantly strengthen our army. He spoke with Finland President today. I thanked for the support already provided and outlined the additional needs we have. A significant topic of conversation was European visa policy for terrorist citizens.
I believe that for every country that has a common border with Russia, the visa issue is vital and should be resolved in favor of complete restriction of access to Russian citizens. He also spoke with Nike representatives today. He thanked them for the decision to leave the Russian market. The right solution. This is an example of a business can play a significant role in protecting humanity and freedom.
If a state chooses the path of terror for itself, the duty of every company that respects itself to dissociate itself from such a state. Today, a group under the leadership of Andriy Yermak was held in the office, working on the accession of Ukraine to the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development-a meeting with G7 ambassadors and other partner states.
It is an extremely significant direction that matters in the context of European integration and in the context of the internal transformation of our country. Within the meeting, diplomats presented details of our initiative to create a special international tribunal for the punishment of Russia for crime of aggression against Ukraine. I thank the representatives of the Great Seven and other partner countries for their willingness to support Ukraine! And one more.
This Saturday we celebrate the life of the rescuer - the professional holiday of those who dedicated their lives to the salvation of others. And it is also the day of those who, in certain circumstances and due to their decency, became a savior, helping someone else. Today I noted the state awards of such people. And, of course, tomorrow in the evening, I will say more about it. But I want to congratulate everyone who does this noble work, who saves people.
