Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky stressed Friday that his country has managed to prevail over Russia on the information battlefield despite the weapons potential of its opponent in this war.
«I think we have traveled this road very well. We are not finished yet, but we have made ourselves heard. Information in our hands has begun to be a powerful weapon,» he emphasized in a conversation with Irish students.
In this regard, Zelensky also stressed that despite the fact that «Russia has more weapons on the battlefield,» they have been able to overcome them «in the information space,» Ukrinform agency reports.
During his speech this Friday at an event with the student community in Ireland, the Ukrainian president wanted to delegitimize Russian «propaganda», mentioning recent sanctions issued by the Kremlin against fifty politicians of the country.
«The restrictions imposed by Russia do not particularly affect anything. This is rather a propaganda technique so that on Russian television they can lie, as if Russia is capable of anything in diplomacy,» he said.
On the other hand, he has also questioned Russia’s signature on the joint declaration of the countries that participated in the last G20 summit held in Bali, Indonesia, as it «violates most of the principles» it promises to keep.
Thus, he pointed out that Russia is mobilizing all its resources for war and becoming «the largest terrorist state in history» while claiming to be in favor of defending international law, or else it claims to take measures to promote energy stability while launching missiles against power and gas production plants in Ukraine.
