Volodymyr Zelensky: Ukraine crushes the so-called second most powerful army in the world, which will now beg

In his night sermon, referring to the completion of eight months since outbreak of warThe Ukrainian chairman, Volodymyr Zelenskydecided that the Russia he is failing in the goals he set when he invaded his country on February 24.

The Ukrainian armed forces, the head of state argued, “crushes the so-called second strongest army in the world”. “From now on”he continued, “Russia will be begging. They are begging Iran to give them something. They are trying to take anything from Western countries – making up stupid excuses for Ukraine, trying to deceive and intimidate. Never again will Russia be able to impose anything on anyone. Now, he doesn’t have the power to do it. People see this. Russian power is lost in this vortex of madness, which is the war against us and the whole free world.’

“And what has happened since the war began? We have defended the independence of our state and Russia cannot change that.”he stated.

“The sense of defeat in Russia is getting stronger”he added and underlined that while this country was once an important factor on the international stage, today it is increasingly “isolated” diplomatically. “There used to be a military and political gravitas – those are evaporating. Once there was ideological ambition, now only disgust”.

He also assured that his army is recapturing territory every day. The entire country, including the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, will “set free”he repeated, at the same time warning the Ukrainians that the coming winter will be “the toughest in our history” due to the damage caused by the Russian strikes on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

“Step by step, however, we are liberating the Ukrainian land. In the region of Donbass and Kharkiv, Zaporizhia and Crimea will follow, as will Kherson. The time will come when all of Ukraine will be free,” he said.
