President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told Ukrainian troops “you are all we have” as he accused European countries of an insufficient reaction to the Russian invasion.
He said the Russian attack in Ukraine was like a repeat of the Second World War and called on European citizens to protest to force their governments to take more decisive action.
“The invasion of Russia into Ukraine is not just an invasion, it’s the beginning of the war against Europe,” he said. “Against the unity of Europe. Against basic human rights in Europe. Against all rules of coexistence on the continent. Against the fact that European states refuse to divide borders by force.”
