If Ukraine burns, then your Moscow will burn too - Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters:

"If Putin wants to continue the war and does not want to end it, then we will not wait for it calmly. We will respond to it. They hit the Lavra. I said that we would prepare a response, and you see it. We do not want this war and, of course, we do not want Ukraine to burn because of the enemy, but if Ukraine burns, then your Moscow will burn too."

According to Zelensky, pressure on Russia must be increased in order to end the war.

"I mean various kinds of pressure. This includes sanctions not only on Ukraine, but also on partners, including on energy, the shadow fleet, oil, gas, the banking system, and the defense industry. Russia must feel that there is no point in fighting. The Russian people must feel that only one person, Putin, is fighting, but the people are paying the price for it," the Ukrainian president noted.
