Welcoming Qatar, the Ukrainian leader said: “I want to contact you in your way: Assalam Aleikum. These words are the basic values of the world, and now they are not in Ukraine, because Russia decided to occupy and colonize Ukraine. Russia is 28 times more Ukraine is one of the largest countries of the world. But this is not enough for them. The Russian administration wants to pick up our land and use us as workers. But already 31 days Ukraine resists the country, 28 times higher than its size.
Do Russia stop after the seizure of Ukraine? Colonial requirements will never end. They are already threatened with nuclear weapons. “
Zelensky added that the mosques were also injured from Russian bombers: “Look at our cities, especially the city of Mariupol, which is completely destroyed. Ukraine is a country of different nationalities and religions. More than a million Muslims live here. Only in Mariupol was 4,000 Muslims . For three weeks already in the mosques of the city there are about 80 people, including children, women and old people. “
He noted that all roads are blocked, and the Russian army does not miss humanitarian assistance to this area: “They are bombarded the day and night, and 90 percent of the city is destroyed. Here 1,000 people died here, but Russia did not suffer for this any punishment. During the 31 day of the Russian occupation, 59 religious structures were destroyed, including mosques and churches, 200 schools and dozens of hospitals. Another 10 million Ukrainians became refugees, and more than 3.5 million were forced to leave the country. At the same time, most of them are women and children “.
Ukrainian leader stressed that in the coming days the month of Ramazan begins: “We do not need to explain the importance and meaning of this month to anyone. The whole world knows and respects. Ukrainian Muslims will have to defend their country and their freedom with arms in their hands during Ramadan . We must support international order not only for Ukraine, but for all. Starting from Afghanistan, should seek peace in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Somalia. Long live Ukraine. “
