Ukraine is united in the desire to live freely and earn their own dreams, not others’ own fantasies
Ukraine is united in its desire to live freely, live independently and earn its own dreams, not other people’s fantasies.
This was voted in video appeal President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
Free people of a free country!
Free Slavutych, who will not conquer the invaders!
Today we were all with you – on your streets, in your protest. And all together we tell the occupiers one thing: go home while you can still walk.
The Russian invaders entered Slavutych and met with the same reaction there in the south of our state as in the east of our country.
Ukraine is united in its desire to live freely, live independently and earn its own dreams, not other people’s fantasies. Every day of our struggle for Ukraine, every manifestation of our confrontation in all areas where the occupiers have entered so far, proves that Ukraine is the full life of a state that has historical roots and moral foundations throughout its territory.
Nothing they do will help the occupiers. Disconnection of our television and activation of Moscow TV presenters, leaflets with propaganda, distribution of rubles. Rubles, which in Russia will lose weight, not at face value.
It does not help to bribe the marginals, whom the occupiers are looking for in all the dumps to portray the allegedly pro-Russian government …
The answer to Russian troops will be only one – hatred and contempt. And our Armed Forces of Ukraine will inevitably come.
That is why ordinary Ukrainian peasants naked take captive the pilots of downed Russian planes, which give to our land. That is why our “tractor troops” – Ukrainian farmers take Russian equipment in the fields and give it to our Armed Forces of Ukraine. we need the latest models, which Russia has tried to keep secret. And now the occupiers are throwing them on our land and just running away …
In principle, uses correctly. Because it is better for them to escape from here than to die. And there is no other alternative and will not be.
Everyone in Ukraine has united and has been devoting all their energy to defending our state for a month. Together with the Armed Forces, together with all our defenders and our defenders, together with our National Guard.
I would like to say goodbye to the National Guard of Ukraine with great respect. I am sincerely grateful for everything you do to protect the state, to protect Ukrainians! Thank you for all the steps to victory that will be made possible thanks to you.
Today he presented awards to the National Guard soldiers who distinguished themselves in battles with the Russian occupiers. He also awarded the rank of brigadier general to five colonels of the National Guard of Ukraine.
In total, during the full-scale war since February 24, 476 soldiers of the National Guard have been awarded state awards.
He also spoke today with Polish President Andrzej Duda. Twice. About our people who knew protection in Poland. And about strengthening our common security. Security of our states. Security is really for all Europeans.
What is the price of this security? This is very specific. These are planes for Ukraine. These are tanks for our state. This is missile defense. This is an anti-ship weapon. This is what our partners have. That they just have dust. After all, this is all for freedom not only in Ukraine – for freedom in Europe.
Because it cannot be acceptable for everyone on the continent if the Baltic states, Poland, Slovakia, and the whole of Eastern Europe are at risk of colliding with the Russian invaders.
To be left alone because only one percent of all NATO aircraft and one percent of all NATO tanks leave themselves in hangars. One percent! We did not ask for more. And we do not ask for more. And we have been waiting for 31 days!
So who runs the Euro-Atlantic community? Is Moscow still because of intimidation?
Partners need to step up assistance to Ukraine. These are the words: partners need! Because this is the security of Europe. And this is exactly what we agreed on in Kyiv when the three prime ministers of Eastern European countries, as well as Mr. Kaczynski, arrived in our capital. It was in mid-March. Today, after a conversation with the President of Poland, he contacted the defenders of Mariupol. I am in constant contact with them. Their determination, their heroism and resilience are impressive. Grateful to each of them! Each of them! At least a percentage of their courage to those who have been thinking for 31 days how to transfer a dozen or two planes or tanks…
And, by the way, we talked today with our military in Mariupol. With our heroes defending this city. We spoke in Russian.
Because there are no language problems in Ukraine and there have never been.
But now you, the Russian occupiers, are creating this problem. You did everything to make our people leave the Russian language themselves. Because the Russian language will be associated with you. Only with you. With these explosions and killings. With your crimes. You are deporting our people. You are harassing our teachers, forcing them to repeat everything after your propagandists. You are capturing our mayors and Ukrainian activists. This is you placing billboards in the occupied territories with prizes (today they appeared) not afraid to speak in Russian. Just think what it means. Where Russian has always been a part of everyday life, like the Ukrainian language, in the east of our state, and where you are turning peaceful cities into ruins today. Russia itself is doing everything to ensure de-Russification on the territory of our state. You do it. In one generation. And forever. This is another manifestation of your suicide policy.
Our representatives – the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defense of Ukraine – met today in Poland with colleagues from the United States. They were joined by US President Joseph Biden. As reported, they recounted, in particular, these vital interests, which I talked about above. As for what we really need, this ping-pong continues – who and how should give us planes and other protection tools. Ukraine cannot shoot down Russian missiles from shotguns, from machine guns, which are too much in supply.
And it is impossible to unblock Mariupol without a sufficient number of tanks, other armored vehicles and, of course, aircraft. All defenders of Ukraine know about it. All defenders of Mariupol know. Thousands of people know – citizens, civilians who die there in the blockade.
This is known in the United States. All European politicians know. We told everyone I know this as soon as possible and as many people on earth as possible. So that everyone understands who and why was simply afraid to prevent this tragedy. I was just afraid to make a decision. Vital.
Of course, we have seized a number of Russian tanks, which the military command of this state does not tire of sending to burn here.
But all the peoples of the world do not understand for sure if the battlefield in Ukraine will be a major supplier of tanks to protect freedom in Europe, except for our partners.
Ukraine’s position must be heard. I want to do: this is not just our proposal.
This is the position of the absolute population of Europe, Europeans.
If someone does not believe, let them look at the current public opinion poll in the world.
And if you do not want to hear the position of the people, then hear the strikes of Russian missiles hitting right next to the Polish border. Are you waiting for the roar of Russian tanks?
He also spoke with Bulgarian Prime Minister Kirill Petkov. in fact, about the humanitarian catastrophe due to the action of Russian troops and how to save our people.
He spoke today at the Doha Forum in the capital of Qatar. This is an important gathering that is important not only for the Islamic world, but also for many other countries in Latin America and Africa. These are the very regions where Russian propaganda still has great influence. But we are working against the lies of the whole world. Let Russia know that the truth will not remain silent. And every nation in the world will feel the depths of injustice Russia is creating against Ukraine. Against everything that keeps the world within morality and humanity.
The occupiers committed another crime against history. Against historical justice.
Near Kharkiv, Russian troops in a non-human style “denazified” the Holocaust Memorial in Drobitsky Yar.
During World War II, the Nazis shot about 20,000 people in this place. 80 years later they are killed a second time. And Russia is doing it.
The menorah in Drobitsky Yar, smashed by Russian shells today, is another question to the entire Jewish community of the world about how many more crimes against our common memory of the Holocaust will be allowed to Russia on our Ukrainian land?
The Russian military is deliberately killing people, destroying neighborhoods, aiming at openings and hospitals, schools and universities. Everyone in the church, even in the Holocaust memorials!
Russian troops support the same orders: to destroy everything that makes our people a people, our people, our culture a culture. This is exactly how the Nazis tried to capture Europe 80 years ago. This is exactly how the occupiers act in Ukraine. No one will forgive them. There will be responsibility. Just like 77 years ago. Most likely not in Nuremberg. But the meaning will be similar. You will see.
See you all. All. We guarantee.
Glory to all our heroes!
Glory to Ukraine
