The world media is covering the events in Kursk region of Russia and showing how Russia treats its citizens, how it "doesn't abandon" its citizens, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"Ukraine astonishes once again. Russia reverts once again to its repertoire. This is how the world media generally portray the events in the Kursk region. They show how Russia treats its citizens, whom it calls 'the population.' How Russia 'does not abandon' their own. How their soldiers loot their local shops. This is what Putin's Russia looks like in the eyes of the world," the president said in a video message on the occasion of Independence Day.

"And in the same way, the entire world sees how our warriors provide water, food, and medicine to the local people, who say: 'It's good that you are here now, not the Kadyrovites.' This is what Ukraine's dignity looks like. Civility. The virtue of our independence," Zelenskyy said.
