Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ordered a daily minute of silence to remember the soldiers and civilians who have died in Russia’s attack on the country.
“Every morning at 9.00 a.m. we will remember the Ukrainians who gave their lives,” Zelensky said in a video posted on social media on Wednesday.
Zelensky also called for Russia to be internationally outlawed as a terrorist state.
“The Russian state has turned into an open terrorist and it is not embarrassed by this.
“Kidnapping of mayors and lawmakers in Russian-occupied territories, as well as the case of a hospital in the port city of Mariupol where the Russian military is said to be holding about 400 employees,” he said. (dpa/NAN)
