Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has reacted to allegations that Russian soldiers lopped off the head of a captive Ukrainian soldier.

Stating that the picture shows Russia as it is, Zelenskiy said: “There are no people for the invaders, they don’t care about sons, brothers and children.”

Stating that Russia is “trying to make the habit of destroying life the new norm,” Zelenskiy noted:

“This is not an accident, this is not an episode. It had happened before. That was what happened in Buça. a thousand times. Everyone, all leaders must react. You should not wait for time to pass and forget. We will not forget anything, we will not forgive the murderers. There will be legal liability for everything. The terrorist must lose.”
