Ukraine’s President says prisoners with military experience to be released

It is now the fifth day since the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Ukraine’s president Volodymr Zelensky has announced that prisoners with military experience and who want to fight the Russians will be released.

Zelensky was giving an address to the nation when he also said that at this stage 4,500 Russian soldiers have been killed.

He further urged Russian soldiers to lay down their arms, and called on them to “save your lives and leave”.

“Abandon your equipment. Get out of here. Don’t believe your commanders. Don’t believe your propagandists. Just save your lives,” said Zelensky while addressing Russia’s forces.

In the address, Zelensky urged the European Union to grant his country immediate membership,

“We appeal to the European Union for the immediate accession of Ukraine via a new special procedure,”

“Our goal is to be together with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be on an equal footing. I’m sure it’s fair. I’m sure it’s possible.” he said.

There are growing interventions from all corners, the latest being the Vatican, which today came out and said today it was ready to “facilitate dialogue” between Russia and Ukraine to end the war.
