"We see Russia under Putin actually moving: 24 years ago, there was the Kursk disaster, which was the symbolic beginning of his rule; now we can see what is the end for him. And Kursk is also the end. The catastrophe of his war. This is what always happens to those who despise people and any rules. russia brought war to others, now it is coming home. Ukraine has always wanted only peace, and we will definitely ensure peace," Zelensky said.
