Re: [Salon] Zelensky calls for 'world' to 'strike' Kremlin



Source: Zelenskyy in an interview with CTV and CBC Canadian TV Сhannels
Quote: "Regarding the use of nuclear weapons other than a nuclear plant [ZNPP - ed.], I will give an example. Now we sit and hear constant calls that Russia should strike at the decision-making centre [in Ukraine]. How should the world respond? It doesn't matter if Ukraine is a NATO country or not. This is happening in Europe. No one is allowed to blackmail like a terrorist.
If the message is that there will be a strike at the decision-making centre, the world's response should be as follows: ‘Look, if you strike Bankova St, there will be a strike at the place where you are, you, who gives the task of killing people. If you do that, then in a second, regardless of the result of your strike, there will be a strike at the decision-making centre in your state."

A needed correction.  RT said this alright… But here’s what the Canadian inerviewer the supposed source, actually quoted Zelensky as saying (at the very end of the broadcast): <https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/truly-grateful-zelenskyy-thanks-canada-for-military-support-accuses-iran-of-lies-after-drone-attacks-1.6115895> The Canadian broadcaster said Zelenski said that if the Russian dropped an atomic weapon in the center of Kiev, then Moscow would most certainly be a target in return.” RT, not surprisingly, seems to have distorted the point into something menacing.
