Support came too late to stop war, Zelensky to politicians
PBC News: Ukrainian President has concluded his address to the German Bundestag in Berlin and thanked the country for its assistance, but told lawmakers their support “came too late to stop war”.
“Why does ‘never again’ not apply,” Volodymyr Zelensk asked. “What is Germany’s historic responsibility towards Ukraine today?”.
Zelensky also criticised German leaders over the country’s business interests in Russia.
“We could see your willingness to continue to do business with Russia and now we’re in the middle of the cold war,” Zelesnky said.
“And again this is something you have failed to see. You’re still protecting yourself behind a wall that does not make it possible for you to see what we are going through.”
He concluded by calling for Germany to tackle Russian aggression and impose harsher sanctions on Moscow. “Peace is more important than income,” he told MPs, reports BBC.
