"They can use even more missiles against us, even more air bombs,

He dismissed Russian claims that civilian deaths across Ukraine were
the result of Ukraine's own military strikes, calling them a sign of
Russia's weakness.
"They say about the murders in Bucha that it is not them, but allegedly us," he said.
"Do you know why this is so? Because it's cowardice."
He added: "They are afraid to admit that Russia's entire policy toward Ukraine

give up unrealistic ambitions, started this war."
"It all came from cowardice," he continues.
"When cowardice grows, it turns into a catastrophe. When people lack
the courage to admit their mistakes, apologise, adapt to reality, learn,
they turn into monsters. And when the world ignores it, the monsters decide that
it is the world that has to adapt to them.
"Ukraine will stop all this."
