Russia-terrorist recognition is needed not as a political gesture, but as an effective protection of the free world-the appeal of the President of Ukraine

There should also be legal steps from the world community to the terrorist state. There is not enough condemnation at the level of political rhetoric for this mass murder. What can be the relationship with the terrorist? What can be business with such a country? Ukrainian diplomats and all friends of Ukraine abroad will exacerbate activity to track and destroy all those ties of the terrorist state with the free world that Russia is still using.

And the formal legal recognition of Russia by the terrorist state, in particular recognition from the State Department of the United States, is needed not as a political gesture, but as an effective protection of the free world. This solution will automatically complicate the existence for the terrorist state, automatically break the various political and business ties that Russia will remain. And it will all happen 100 %.

This will have to be done - only in time and in the format of this decision. And the faster it will be, the less evil Russia will have time. It is important to hear all our people in the Donbass in the areas of the most violent battles. There are hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of children . . . Many refuse to leave . . . But it is really necessary to do it. This decision will still have to be made. Anyway! Believe me.

And the earlier it will be done that more people will leave from the Donetsk region now, the fewer people of the Russian army will have time to kill. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, please speak with those who still stay in the combat zones in the Donbass. Please convince them what you need to leave, especially if it is families with children. If you have the opportunity to help displaced persons, do it.

There is a government decision on mandatory evacuation from Donetsk region, everything is organized. Full support, full assistance - logistics and payments. All you need to do is from the people who have not yet made it. Go, we will help. We are not Russia. That is why every life matters to us. And we will use all available opportunities to save as much lives as possible and to maximize Russian terror. At this stage of the war, terror is a major weapon for Russia.
