Zelensky: “In Six Months Of War, The World, History, And Ukraine Have Changed” – HuffPost

In the six months that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has lasted “it has changed the world, history and our country,” said Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski on Wednesday. In a video on the occasion of the celebration of independence day Ukraine, whose 31st anniversary is being commemorated and which was broadcast by local media, the president also referred to the invasion that the country is suffering, which is now six months old. “Six months ago, Russia declared the war. On February 24, the whole of Ukraine heard explosions and shots,” the Ukrainian president said. “On February 24 they told us: You have no chance. But on August 24 we say: Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!” added Zelensky. For the politician, in these “six months we have changed history, the world and we have changed ourselves. Now we know for sure who really is our brother and friend, and who is not even an acquaintance.” At the same time, he said, “the whole world has found out who the Ukrainians are… No one else will say about Ukraine: it is in somewhere, near Russia.” For this, he promises, he will fight “until the end”. “We didn’t have HIMARS (high-capacity rocket systems) yet, but there were people who were ready to stop tanks with their bare hands. They were not ready to close the sky (with an air shield), but we had people who were ready to close (defend) their homeland by themselves, ”he added. In addition, in his opinion, Ukraine has managed to revitalize“ the entire continent. . Europe goes out to the squares. Europe introduces harsh sanctions. Europe unanimously recognizes that Ukraine is a future member of the European Union.” Corpses of Ukrainian civilians, some handcuffed, in Bucha, on the outskirts of KievSee the galleryYOU MAY ALSO BE INTERESTED IN
