The president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, is convinced that in order to accelerate the victory over the Russians, the Ukrainians should not think about when the war will end, but how to make the aggressors stay in Ukraine even more unbearable.
In a video message broadcast last night and collected this Tuesday by the local newspaper Pravda, Zelensky reflects on the Russian military invasion when two months have just passed since it began on February 24.
“It is obvious that every day, and especially today, when the third month of our resistance has begun, everyone in Ukraine is worried about peace, about when all this will end and when and what can be a victory for Ukraine,” he stressed. .
“There is, and at the same time there is no, a simple answer to this question,” the Ukrainian president said at another point in his speech.
When “we win a victory, everyone will feel it. When peace comes, everyone will see it. However, for this to happen, and to happen faster, we must think not about when and what it will be, we must think every day about how to make it happen.” the stay of the aggressors in our land is even more unbearable”, reiterated the president.
And he stressed that Ukraine is ready for peace, as it was when the war began, in 2014, in the pro-Russian region of Donbas, bordering Russia.
“But for Russia to seek peace, all Ukrainians must continue to fight. They must defend freedom. Because every day of struggle now adds up to years of peaceful life after this war. After our victory,” he said.
At another point in his message, Zelensky indicated that the Ukrainian army had already managed to liberate 931 settlements that had been occupied by Russian troops.
“This war has truly become a people’s war for Ukraine. And it has shown that the Ukrainian idea is equally strong, equally national throughout our territory, from east to west, from north to south,” he said.
So far, “931 settlements have already been liberated (from the Russian invaders). Many other cities and communities are under the temporary control of the Russian army. But I have no doubt that it is only a matter of time before we liberate our land.” “.
