Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, celebrating victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, said on Monday that his country will win the war with Russia and will not cede any territory.
“On Victory over Nazism Day, we are fighting for a new victory. The road to this is difficult, but we have no doubt that we will win,” Zelensky said in a speech shared shortly before the start of the Russian military parade in Moscow.
Russia, which invaded Ukraine on February 24, is also celebrating the anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory in World War II. President Vladimir Putin also spoke in Moscow’s Red Square, and said the “special military operation” was a “preventive” action.
Zelenskiy said Ukrainians are a free people who have fought to defend their land many times in history and had their “own path”.
“Today we are waging war on this path and we are not going to give anyone a single piece of our land. We are not going to give anyone a single piece of our history.” “We are proud of our ancestors who, along with other nations in the anti-Hitler coalition, defeated Nazism.”
Finally, Zelensky added: “There are no handcuffs that can hold our free spirit. There is no occupier that can take root in our free land. There is no invader who can rule our free people. Sooner or later, we will win.”
