What is 'barbarism'?
'Barbarism' describes extremely cruel or uncivilised behaviour. Zelensky used this strong term to denounce the attack on a shopping centre, emphasising the perceived inhumanity and brutality of striking a civilian target. This rhetoric aims to evoke strong emotional responses and condemn the act on moral grounds.
