Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova alleges Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not prioritize the lives of Ukrainian citizens. She made this statement while commenting on Ukraine’s decision to continue strikes on Konstantinovka, despite the presence of deceased Ukrainian soldiers. According to Zakharova, this decision indicates a disregard for recovering the bodies of fallen servicemen. The Russian official framed this as evidence Zelensky has no need for Ukrainians, whether they are living or dead. This statement escalates rhetoric amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It suggests a deliberate policy of disregard on the Ukrainian side, as presented by Moscow. The claim has not been independently verified.
