Does the world carry responsibility for the genocide? Yes - Volodymyr Zelensky

The world is responsible for what is happening in Ukraine - the President of Ukraine spoke in an interview with the CBS program “60 Minutes”.

“Look, I think everyone who made a decision, who issued an order, who fulfilled an order, everyone who is relevant to this, I believe they are all guilty. I do believe he’s [Vladimir Putin] one of them. That’s what I believe.

The slaughter of civilians could have been stopped, Zelensky told us. He’s deeply grateful for the weapons NATO and the U.S. are sending around the clock. But he’s bitterly disappointed the allies refuse to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine. President Biden has called that an invitation to World War III. But in Zelensky’s view, it"s the kind of inaction the world has suffered before.

I remember, all of us remember, books about the second World War, and about the devil in uniform – Adolf Hitler. Are those countries who did not participate in the war responsible? The countries who let German forces march throughout Europe? Does the world carry responsibility for the genocide? Yes. Yes, it does. When you [have the ability to] close the sky - yes it’s scary, that a world war could start. It’s scary. I understand [that]. And I cannot put pressure on these people because everyone is afraid of war. But whether the world [is responsible] for this, I believe so, yes. I believe so. Stand in front of the mirror every day and ask yourself, were you able to do something? Or were you unable to do something? You will find the answer in the mirror to this question, and to another question – who are you? That’s what I believe”, - said Volodymyr Zelensky.
