The number of injured after four days of Russian military operations reached 1,684 people, 116 of whom were children.

Recently, the governments of Russia and Ukraine are rumored to be holding a meeting in the near future around the Ukraine-Belarus border.

This was confirmed directly by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, on Sunday (27/2/2022).

However, Volodymyr Zelensky still doubts the outcome of the meeting will end the war in his country.

Volodymyr Zelensky’s doubts are quite reasonable, because until now, there is no sign of the Russian troops will withdraw despite the criticism from many parties.

Vladimir Putin has even ordered Russia’s nuclear forces to be on standby on Sunday (27/2/2022), to face possible attacks from Western countries.

“I’m almost 55 years old and I still don’t understand how one person can put the whole world in such a situation (of war), especially in Ukraine,” Klopp said. Daily Mail, Monday (28/2/2022).

“I know a lot of Ukrainians as well as Russians. What is happening now is definitely not because of the public of the two countries,” said Klopp.

“It was a truly evil one man (Putin) war!” Klopp added.

Furthermore, Juergen Klopp admitted that he was very worried because many of his former foster children came from Ukraine.

“We all have to continue to show solidarity for Ukraine. It seems we all can’t stop Putin,” said Klopp.

“But, at least, we can cause more problems than he (Putin) thought. Maybe the pressure from all of us will help the people in Ukraine,” Klopp added.
