I explained to them: if people die here, houses are rocketed and we teach that, it’s the content that needs to be distributed. Because this horror is happening in our streets. If this is true, why was this content blocked?

I asked the “green corridor” so that we can demand that our opinion leaders and citizens be opened as soon as possible about what is going on here. If Russia is lying, we are only telling the truth. I think this will be the solution. He is in constant communication 24/7, and these problems are gradually being resolved, blockades and strikes are decreasing and can be eliminated quickly.”
