In his address to the student community of Britain's leading universities, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke of russia's dream of "erasing Ukraine's history, our statehood, our identity, denying our existence as such. Saying that we never existed. That we are an artificial nation. As if we are not humans, but a variety of plants or species of animals. Devaluate our culture, degrade our language, erase our art. Our musicians, writers, philosophers, scientists, designers, inventors, great rulers, and great warriors of Kievan Rus, Zaporozhian Sich, who were, are and will be ".

"Interesting detail - the infectious ward is headed by a russian who came from Siberia on a "medical safari" to gain a unique experience.
