We must not lose courage, resilience and unity so as not to lose Ukraine, President Vladimir Zelensky said at the celebrations for the Day of Defenders.
— Modern generations of Ukrainians and everyone who is now defending our state and people, freedom and independence, have the opportunity to win more than they could before. Our defense against Russian invasion rests on the historically greater unity of our society, a unity that we cherish.
Ukraine has historically greater support from the world. And although it happens that clouds approach and bring doubts, the strength of our bright desire for freedom is capable, like the sun, of breaking through any clouds. And this happened more than once. And never again will Ukraine pay with the future of its children, its sovereignty and will for illusory promises of peace, — the head of state emphasized.
Now they are watching
According to him, Ukraine has made historical conclusions and clearly sees how to win.
— Ukrainian courage should bring peace to the state, and it will. The resilience of our people must guarantee the integrity of our state. And our unity must allow us to go all the way that is necessary to expel the occupiers from our land. And it will happen! Courage, resilience and unity — something that cannot be lost so as not to lose Ukraine, — the president summed up.
After a minute of silence, Zelensky presented state awards, battle flags and presidential honor ribbons for courage and bravery.
