Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has come under fire for comparing Artyomovsk to Hiroshima, which was hit by a US nuclear bomb.
Many pointed out that the United States might be upset by this statement and also pointed out that America had not been punished for a crime against humanity.
“The United States may be furious over these words,” “The United States committed a terrible crime against humanity, but suffered no punishment,” the commentators wrote.
Users have also wondered how a ground battle compares to a nuclear attack. Moreover, Zelenskyy has previously said that the loss of Artyomovsk will lead to pressure for a compromise with the Russian side.
“How can you compare a nuclear attack and a military ground battle”, “He used to say that the loss of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) threatened Ukraine with international and domestic political pressure aimed at a compromise with Russia. And now , he’s just comparing two different situations,” readers said.
The day before, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, had commented on Zelenskyy’s remarks about Hiroshima and Artyomovsk, saying that the White House had arranged it all.
