‘We Woke Up Surrounded With Russian Missiles’ – Ukraine’s First Lady Castigates Kremlin’s ‘Mass Murder’

Zelenska said in an emotional declaration that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “hard to believe.”

Olena wrote:

“On February 24th, we all woke up to the announcement of a Russian invasion,”

“Tanks crossed the Ukrainian border, planes entered our airspace, missile launchers surrounded our cities.

“Despite assurances from Kremlin-backed propaganda outlets, who call this a ‘special operation’ — it is, in fact, the mass murder of Ukrainian civilians.”

She called the deaths of children “probably the most horrific and devastating,” citing several of the victims.

“Eight-year-old Alice… died on the streets of Okhtyrka while her grandfather tried to protect her,” she said. “Polina from Kyiv… died in the shelling with her parents.”

She added: “14-year-old Arseniy was hit in the head by wreckage, and could not be saved because an ambulance could not get to him on time because of intense fires.

“When Russia says that it is ‘not waging war against civilians,’ I call out the names of these murdered children first,” she said.

‘Close our sky’

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been praised for his battlefield speeches, and Zelenska’s humor production firm has a writing background.

Her speech concentrated on the suffering of civilians, since millions of people had fled their homes to avoid the Russian military attack.

“This war is being waged against the civilian population, and not just through shelling,” she stressed.

“Our roads are flooded with refugees,” she said.

“Look into the eyes of these tired women and children who carry with them the pain and heartache of leaving loved ones and life as they knew it behind.”

“How easy is it to inject insulin in the basement? Or to get asthma medication under heavy fire?” she asked.

“Not to mention the thousands of cancer patients whose essential access to chemotherapy and radiation treatment has now been indefinitely delayed.”

She called for “those in power to close our sky”. NATO has ruled out a no-fly zone.
