Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said Thursday that Russia’s invasion had severed Moscow from the rest of the international community.

“What do we hear today? It’s not just rocket explosions, combat and the roar of aircraft. This is the sound of a new iron curtain lowering and closing Russia off from the civilised world,” he said in a video address.
