"I will be absolutely frank: I do not believe a single promise of Putin. He is a hardened liar," Klitschko stated.
According to the mayor, from the first days of the full-scale invasion, the Russian side claimed that strikes were exclusively on military targets. However, the reality, emphasized Klitschko, looks completely different:
"For four years in a row, they have been launching missiles and drones exactly at our cities, residential areas, and civilian infrastructure. How can one believe in their "precision" operations after this? How to explain the death of 300 of our compatriots in Kyiv since February 2022 and over a thousand completely destroyed apartments?"
Klitschko's statement came amid another wave of massive strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The capital's mayor once again emphasized that the main goal of such shelling is not only the physical destruction of infrastructure but also an attempt to break the spirit of the population, sow panic, and depression among civilians.
