Yes, what they are doing on our land deprives them of the right to be called people. Their home is home. evil. This is worth speaking directly and clearly. For this is how they tell the truth. War crime is now Russia's middle name. And the change of the name of the once Russian House in Davos is not just symbolic. It is fair. honestly. For illustrative examples show both his worldview and his universe,” Yermak noted.
Genocide of the Ukrainian people
“As of May 21, there are 660 more stories of injured and killed children that we know. It is impossible to establish the exact number of children killed and injured as a result of the Russian invasion. After all, there is a war in Ukraine. But none of these stories is not a story about the collateral victims of the conflict.They are all about genocide.Russian soldiers kill Ukrainians because they are Ukrainians. The Russian army is destroying Ukraine because it is Ukraine. This is precisely the purpose and meaning of this invasion,” said the head of the OP.
Forcible deportation of Ukrainian children to the Russian Federation

Davos – a place of power
“A new world has been created here for half a century. If I had the honor to write the slogan of the Davos Forum, I would suggest “Respect. Synergy. Commonwealth”. But today a new world is being born in Ukraine. We are defending ourselves from a destructive and ruthless force. From an empire for which genocide and crimes against humanity are a routine, not a taboo. But we are fighting not only for himself. The future of Europe and the world is at stake. For the sake of the future, evil must be stopped. Unpunished, it always returns,” he said.
