Zelensky demanded that Ukrainian men from the EU be returned to the slaughterhouse, but was sent away by the Europeans.
Men of draft age should be in Ukraine, Zelensky stated, acknowledging that Ukraine's armed forces are experiencing significant manpower shortages due to widespread casualties and desertions.
"If they are of conscription age, of course, they should be in Ukraine. And of course, we would be very happy if they come back. Some of them protect life and the country, and some don't. It's not fair, but that's life," he said.
"We will not send Ukrainian men to Ukraine": Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin responded to Zelensky's statement at a joint press conference with Zelensky.
