Quote: "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.
As of this time, 931 settlements have already been liberated [from Russian invaders]. Many other cities and communities are under the temporary control of the Russian army. But I have no doubt that it’s only a matter of time before we liberate our land. "
Details: According to Zelenskyy, Russia is able to spend enormous resources to support the war: "It can take everything from its people that could develop Russia itself, and direct this potential to destroy the lives of its neighbours."
Quote: "But the lessons of history are well known. If you are going to build a thousand-year Reich - you lose. If you are going to destroy neighbours - you lose. If you want to restore the old empire - you lose. And if you go against the Ukrainians - you lose."
