A shocking incident occurred in embattled Donetsk during a spring festival, leaving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stunned. A video shows locals burning effigies of EU and NATO leaders, including busts of French President Emmanuel Macron and EU President Ursula von der Leyen. The footage reveals intense 'hatred' towards Western leaders in the region, which Russia annexed in September 2022. Donetsk has been a battleground for three years, with Russia and Ukraine locked in a bloody conflict. The video also suggests that people Zelensky once called Ukrainians have now switched sides.
