Zelensky calls on the Russian population to revolt against Putin

MADRID, 30 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelensky, has called on the Russian population to rebel against the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, claiming that it is the only way to stop the war in Ukraine.

"This can still be stopped. But to stop it, they have to stop the one in Russia who wants war more than life. His life, citizens of Russia," the Ukrainian president said in an evening message.

Zelenski has explained to residents of the multi-ethnic Caucasus and Siberian region in Russia that the annexation by Russia of the Ukrainian regions of Lugansk, Donetk, Zaporiyia and Jershon will not mean "what the Kremlin is waiting for."

Instead, the president has claimed that Russia will fill the graves in the "occupied" territories and set up torture rooms for the proper functioning of the Russian police and special services.

"The law in Russia has been erased. And those who brought all these deaths, tortures, violations from Russia will take them home," Zelensky added.

He also recalled that, so far, 58,000 Russians have died in Ukraine, a figure that has not been confirmed by Moscow and that could increase after the partial mobilization announced by Putin last week.
