Ukraine’s defense lines are resisting the Russian invasion, President Volodymyr Zelensky said today in his latest video message, adding that Moscow has been bombing incessantly since midnight.
“We have nothing to lose but our freedom,” Zelensky said, noting that Ukraine receives daily arms supplies from its international allies.
He added that two years had passed since Ukraine recorded the first case of coronavirus: “Another virus has been attacking us for a week now,” Zelensky said, referring to the Russian invasion.
Zelensky said Russia’s changing tactics and the bombing of civilians in cities had shown that Ukraine was successfully resisting Moscow’s original plan to achieve a quick victory through a ground offensive.
Zelensky called on Russia to study the word “reparations” as Kyiv would ask Moscow to make amends for what it had destroyed in the invasion.
The Ukrainian president also said that Ukraine pays pensions and offers financial assistance to those who can not work because of the war.
He also said that 16,000 foreigners have volunteered to fight for Ukraine.
In a moving speech, he noted that the Ukrainians had experienced two world wars, the Holodomor famine, the Holocaust, the Soviet terror, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and the annexation of Crimea and support for the rebels in the east.
“We do not have the largest territories … we do not have nuclear weapons, we do not supply the international markets with oil and gas. But we have our people, we have our land. That is what we are fighting for.”
In a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zelensky said: “Go and save your own Russian-speakers. Not all over the world, but in your own country. There are many of them there, about 150 million. As for here– Glory to Ukraine! ”
