On the morning of October 1, President Vladimir Zelensky congratulated the defenders on their holiday.
The head of state is confident: hard times made Ukrainians strong.
Now they are watching
– And the strong bring victorious times closer. Step by step. Today, tomorrow, every day, every minute.
Neither planned nor emergency, no one has or will be able to turn off our resilience, endurance, strength, courage. They do not have an expiration date, an end date or an extreme point after which we would stop resistance and struggle, except for one thing – our victory. Every day we bring it closer, we say: We will fight as long as it takes!
We did it in the first minutes of February 24, we have been doing it all these 585 days and we will continue to do it.
Glory to everyone who fights and defends the Motherland! Glory to our defenders and defenders! Glory to the Ukrainian people!
