President Volodymyr Zelensky has sworn to remain in the Ukrainian capital city of Kiev inspite of the ongoing fighting there which many people believe could be dangerous.

In a video message released on Tuesday, Zelensky reiterated that he would not hide and wasn’t afraid of anyone and was ready to face whatever the challenge was.

I am staying in Kiev. Today is the 12th night of our struggle, our defence.

‘We are all on site, everyone is working, everyone is where he has to.

‘I’m in Kiev, my team is with me,’ Zelensky added.

Zelensky had in a statement earlier recalled Ukrainian soldiers serving on foreign missions.

The statement released by the President’s office said, ‘The highly professional military would be needed in the fight against Russian aggression.’

Zelensky added that talks with Russia would continue.

‘We are realists, that’s why we’re going to talk.

‘We will insist on negotiations until we find a way to say to our people, this is how we come to peace.

‘Every day of fighting creates better conditions for Ukraine,’ he said.

Meanwhile, Russia had on Monday failed to show up at a hearing at the UN’s top court where Ukraine asked for an immediate halt to Moscow’s invasion.

Africa Daily News, New York gathered that the no-show attitude of the Russians was seriously criticised by the head of the International Court of Justice, and by Ukraine which said the empty Russian seats ‘speak loudly’.

Kyiv had filed the case shortly after Vladimir Putin’s February 24 invasion, accusing Russia of illegally justifying its war by falsely alleging genocide in Ukraine’s Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

Ukraine wants the court to take provisional measures ordering Russia to ‘immediately suspend the military operations’, pending a full judgment in the dispute that could take years.
