Zelensky: Notion of 'Ruscism' is for the history books
The notion of "Ruscism" will remain in history, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Ruscism’ is a concept that will be in history books, will be in the conventional wikipedia, will remain in the classroom. And little children all over the world will stand up at their desks and answer their teachers when this 'Ruscism' began, on what land and who helped in the fight for freedom against this very terrible concept," Zelensky said at a press conference in Kyiv on Saturday.
According to the head of the Ukrainian state, no one invented the word "Ruscism," but it is repeated in Ukraine and in Europe.
"It is not just because everyone says that it is ‘Ruscism’. You know, the word is new, but the actions are the same as they were 80 years ago in Europe. Because for all these 80 years, if you analyze, there were simply no such barbarities on our continent," Zelensky said.
Zelensky also noted that the actions of the Russian occupiers were Nazism.
"What they did - killing, torturing, everything they did to children, babies, violence against young children, rape, everything that was happening - that is Nazism," the president stressed.
