From Ukrinform:
“Month of resistance: Zelensky
addresses Ukrainians and peoples of the world”
For a month now, the Ukrainian
state and the Ukrainian people have been heroically resisting the ruthless
Russian Federation’s invasion. President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a
relevant video address, Ukrinform reports.
Free people of the free world! Ukrainians
and citizens of all countries who value freedom! Friends! On March 24 it will
be the month of our resistance. Heroic resistance of the Ukrainian state, the
Ukrainian people to the ruthless invasion of Russia. It's already a month of
our defense against the attempt to destroy us. Wipe off the face of the earth.
The original plan of the Russian
troops failed already in the first days of the invasion. They thought
Ukrainians would be frightened. They thought Ukrainians would not fight. They
were wrong.
They know nothing about us, about
Ukrainians. They know nothing at all about freedom. About how valuable it is.
They do not know how freedom enriches life. Gives meaning to life. But there
are many of them! There are still many invaders. Russia is getting manpower
from everywhere. Equipment. Air bombs, missiles. Looking for mercenaries around
the world. Any scum capable of shooting at civilians.
Russian troops destroy our
cities. Kill civilians indiscriminately. Rape women. Abduct children. Shoot at
refugees. Capture humanitarian convoys. They are engaged in looting. They burn
museums, blow up schools and hospitals. The target for them is universities,
residential neighborhoods... Anything! Russian troops do not know the limits of
evil. But... mThe war of Russia is not only the war against Ukraine. Its
meaning is much wider.
Russia started the war against
freedom as it is.
This is only the beginning for
Russia on the Ukrainian land. Russia is trying to defeat the freedom of all
people in Europe. Of all the people in the world. It tries to show that only
crude and cruel force matters. It tries to show that people do not matter, as
well as everything else that makes us people. That’s the reason we all must
stop Russia. The world must stop the war. I thank everyone who acts in support
of Ukraine. In support of freedom. But the war continues. The acts of terror
against peaceful people go on. One month already! That long! It breaks my
heart, hearts of all Ukrainians and every free person on the planet.
That’s why I ask you to stand
against the war! Starting from March 24 – exactly one month after the Russian
invasion… From this day and after then. Show your standing! Come from your
offices, your homes, your schools and universities. Come in the name of peace.
Come with Ukrainian symbols to support Ukraine, to support freedom, to support
life. Come to your squares, your streets. Make yourselves visible and heard.
Say that people matter. Freedom matters. Peace matters. Ukraine matters. From
March 24. In downtowns of your cities. All as one together who want to stop the
war.
I want to address the citizens of
Russia separately. I am sure that there are many of you who are disgusted by
the policy of your state. Who are already just sick of what you see on TV. Of
the lies of your propagandists on the Internet. Propagandists who are paid by
your taxes. And they lie about the war, which is paid for by your taxes. And
which makes all the citizens of Russia poorer. Poorer every day. Isn't that
stupid? Your state collects taxes from you to make you poorer. To isolate you
from the world. To make it easier for them to control you. And easier to send
you to the war to die. Ukraine has never threatened the security of Russia. Even
now, we are doing everything just to bring peace back to our land. Not to yours
- to our land. To our people. We are doing everything to end this war. And when
we succeed - it will certainly happen - you will be sure of at least one thing:
your children will no longer be sent to die on our land, on our territory. Therefore,
you, the citizens of Russia, are also interested in peace. Save your sons from
the war. Tell the truth about the war. And if you can leave Russia so as not to
give your taxes to the war, do it.
All polls show that the people of
Europe and America support us. I am grateful to all of you for that. Grateful
on behalf of Ukraine. To everyone in the European Union, the United States,
Canada, Britain and other countries for supporting us. For supporting freedom.
For supporting Ukraine. On March 24, three important summits will take place in
Brussels, Europe. Important for the security of each of us. NATO Summit. EU
Summit. G7 Summit. I'm sure people will show how they support us. But
politicians must also support freedom. All of them. They must support the
struggle for life. We are waiting for meaningful steps. From NATO, the EU and
the G7. We know that the Russians have already begun to lobby their interests.
These are the interests of war. We know that they are working with some
partners. We know that they want to put this issue out. The struggle against
war. But this is the war that needs to be put out. Our firm position will be
represented at these three summits. At these three summits we will see: Who is
a friend, who is a partner, and who betrayed us for money.
Life can be defended only when
united. Freedom must be armed. Ukrainian sky has not been made safe from
Russian missiles and bombs. We have not received aircraft and modern
anti-missile weapons. We have not received tanks, anti-ship equipment. Russian
forces can keep killing thousands of our citizens, destroying our cities. Just
because there are too many invaders. Just because Russia has been preparing for
such a war for decades. We asked to close our sky. And we asked for assistance
from NATO to be effective and without limits. Any support in weapons that we
need. We asked the Alliance to say it will fully help Ukraine win this war,
clear our territories of the invaders and restore peace in Ukraine.
Free people of the free world! Together
we must prevent Russia from breaking someone in NATO, EU or G7. From breaking
and taking it to the war side. We will see on March 24.
Ukrainians! All our heroes! A
month has passed. We withstood six times longer than the enemy had planned,
than the Russian command had reported to the Russian president. They were
convinced that Ukraine is not a state. They were convinced that Ukrainians are
not a nation. They deceived themselves. But we don't care about them. This is
their state suicide. And we are just protecting our lives. Our freedom. Our own
state. Our children. Hence, our future.
This is a war for independence.
And we must win. We will rebuild every city that heroically resists. We will
bring the invaders to justice for every crime. Zhytomyr and Sumy, Kyiv and Chernihiv,
Kharkiv and Mariupol, Volnovakha and Mykolaiv, Okhtyrka and Hostomel, Kherson
and Odesa, Izyum and Donetsk, Luhansk and Chornobaivka... All our people will
live! In a free Ukraine. After our victory. Which will come sooner, the more we
will all be united.
We are all Ukrainians. We are all
Europeans. We are all free people of the free world. In unity! On the
battlefield and in political positions, at rallies and summits, at work and in
communication with people. By all our actions, we must force Russia to seek
peace. By all our actions, we must bring the victory of freedom closer. May the
memory of all who died for Ukraine live forever! Eternal glory to all our
heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!
