Zelensky criticises people that attacked Ukrainians evacuated from Wuhan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had harsh words for an angry mob who smashed windows on buses carrying dozens of Ukrainians evacuated from China over the novel coronavirus outbreak.

“We keep saying that Ukraine is Europe. But yesterday it seemed like we were Europe in the Middle Ages,” Zelensky said in Kiev.

Fearing the passengers would bring the first deadly case of the novel coronavirus to Ukraine, hundreds of people – some armed with metal  rods and rocks – turned out to protest their return on Thursday.
