In his videotaped speech, Zelensky also underlined that Ukraine will regain the Russian-annexed Crimea and the occupied territories in its eastern part.
Ukraine was “reborn” when Russia invaded and will fight to the end without any concessions or compromises with Moscow, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said today in an emotionally charged speech on the 31st anniversary of independence of his country, which this year coincides with the completion of six months since the beginning of the Russian invasion.
In his videotaped speech, Zelensky also underlined that Ukraine will regain the Russian-annexed Crimea and the occupied territories in its eastern part.
“A new nation appeared in the world on February 24th at 4 am. He was not born, but reborn. A nation that did not cry, scream or fear. A (nation) that did not flee. He did not quit. And he didn’t forget,” he said.
“We will fight for (our territory) until the end” he underlined. “We’ve been doing well for six months. It’s tough, but we’ve clenched our fists and are fighting for our destiny,” he continued.
“For us, Ukraine is the whole of Ukraine. All 25 regions, without any concessions or compromises,” stressed the Ukrainian leader, who appears as usual in military uniform in front of the central independence monument in Kyiv.
“What is the end of the war for us? Before we used to say: peace. Now we say: victory. We will not seek to collude with the terrorists,” concluded the 44-year-old president of the country, referring to the Russians.
The streets of central Kiev were unusually empty this morning after days of warnings about the possibility of Russia launching new missile attacks on major cities on Ukraine’s Independence Day from the Soviet Union.
