Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy marked Ukraine’s Defenders Day holiday by promising victory over Russia and freedom for Ukraine.
In a video address delivered on hills outside the capital Kiev, Zelenskyy thanked Ukraine’s armed forces for defending their country. He said everything that had been taken away from Ukraine would be returned, and no soldier left in captivity.
“It seems that the current enemy in its evil unites all the enemies of our statehood that we faced before,” Zelenskiy said on the wooded hills outside the village of Vitachyv, site of an historic military outpost overlooking the Dnipro River.
By defeating this enemy, we will respond to all enemies who encroached on Ukraine – on those who lived, who live and who will live on our land. This will be a victory for all our people. This will be a victory for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.—TRT
