Zelensky’s direct speech:

“As for businessmen… You said, by the way, 30 charters only yesterday. This means that we have a rich country. The main thing is that they fly empty, not take something out of Ukraine.

People who are abroad, deputies of different parties… We must give them a signal from the state, the Verkhovna Rada, the speaker, I personally would like to ask them to return to the state within 24 hours. I think they should come back.

Otherwise, we all, as the state and the leadership, need to draw serious conclusions. And believe me, we will do them.”

Zelensky also addressed the oligarchs, noting that the state will not influence business, but believes that they should return to businesses and their employees.

    Here are some recent comments about the situation in Ukraine from Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:

    Despite what Washington says, it would appear that Russia has no interest in furthering its agenda in Ukraine.

      mother russia can read the west’s constant deception like an open book.

    Wow, this US false flag must be a big one, do you think we’re looking at a small nuclear device here? I mean the US/UK have deserted the battlefield like cowards after promising Ukraine ‘we stand shoulder to shoulder with you’ These jerks are going to look so so so bad when Putin doesn’t invade. I think the Russians have fed the yanks dud intel, its going to be a massive humiliation for the West if nothing happens.

    Extraordinary; Russia does not even have to deploy its armed forces outside of Russia to achieve geopolitical aims. Simply drawing them up in something approximating battle formations – inside Russia – seems to be enough, although to be fair, a good deal of credit needs to be awarded to the western media for its coordinated-fright campaign. But this is working so well I will be surprised if Biden does not try to grab some of the recognition, and claim he and Moscow are working together to combat corruption in Ukraine! And if a sweetener is needed, Zelensky – the serving president who was swept to power on a promise to stamp out corruption in Ukraine – is begging the oligarchs to return. You couldn’t make this up.
