'You can't stay neutral right now,' Zelenskyy warns
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Wednesday that the international community "can't stay neutral," as the Russian invasion entered its seventh day.
"Neutral Switzerland has supported EU sanctions against Russian oligarchs, officials, the state, and companies. Once again - neutral Switzerland. So why do other countries wait?" Zelenskyy said in a televised address. "Our anti-war coalition has already been joined by those countries that Moscow was counting on a week ago. This is an extraordinary result. You can't stay neutral right now."

"We are in our homeland and there will be an international tribunal for waging the war against us," he added.
Zelenskyy also praised his fellow Ukrainians for being "united."
"During this time, we have truly become one," he said. "Today you, Ukrainians, are a symbol of invincibility. A symbol that people in any country can become the best people on Earth at any moment."
