Permanent Ambassador of Ukraine to the UN, Sergiy Kyslytsya waved a leaf on Monday in New York during the assembly of the United Nations. He claimed that it contained the last messages exchanged between a Russian soldier and his mother. And the diplomat read the soldier’s last words, which were said to have been sent shortly before his death.
“Mom, I am in Ukraine. A real war is raging here. I’m afraid. We bomb all the cities at the same time, even targeting civilians. We had been told that they would welcome us and they threw themselves under the wheels of our armored vehicles to prevent us from passing. They call us fascists. Mom, it’s so hard,” the soldier reportedly wrote, according to the ambassador.
The sequence was shared on Twitter by a journalist from “Time”, relate BFM TV. The diplomat did not specify the date of the message or how he would have had access to it. But his will is obvious: to try to demonstrate the resistance of the Ukrainians as well as the wavering morale of the Russian soldiers, who have been lied to.
