He is also convinced that Ukrainians and European history will always remember those who did not hesitate to come to the aid of the Ukrainian people and the idea of freedom in general. In particular, the president noted the leadership of Boris Johnson.
According to the head of state, now we are fighting not just for land, the rights of people or the Ukrainian people, not just for freedom in Europe – we are fighting together for that no aggressor will ever again consider war as a means to achieve aggressive goals.
“And perhaps for the first time in the history of mankind, we are now able to show everyone in the world and for a long time that democracies, united, they can stop any tyranny, even if at first it seems that it has unlimited resources for aggression, but this can become a reality only if Russia loses on the battlefield in Ukraine,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
