Quote from Zelenskyy: "Millions of Ukrainians are focused on one thing day after day. Not on themselves, not on their own desires, but on defending the state and their lives. But unfortunately, some people think that the war is somewhere far away from them. As if the dome of the Verkhovna Rada, or the walls of some offices, or a list of some powers can shield [you] from reality."

Details: According to the president, no one will forgive MPs, judges, "military commissars" or any other officials for opposing the state.

"For some, it's about islands and resorts during the war; for others, it's about lining one's pockets in the military enlistment office, for others it's about bribes in the courts. For any public official, this is a betrayal of state principles, a betrayal of the interests of society," the president emphasised.

Zelenskyy pointed out that when you are looking for weapons for the state, when all attention is paid to having artillery, missiles, drones, when you constantly see and feel the moral strength that our soldiers, our people, who are doing everything possible and impossible to win and preserve freedom, have gained for Ukraine, then any internal betrayal, any "rest on the beach" or any personal enrichment instead of Ukraine's interests causes fury, at the very least. "Fury. Remember that," the President said.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "I want to warn all MPs, officials, and everyone else in public office. When everyday you search for weapons for the state, when all the attention is on providing artillery, missiles, drones, when you constantly see and feel the moral strength gained for Ukraine by our warriors, our people, who are doing everything possible and impossible for the victory and preservation of freedom, any internal betrayal, any "beach" or any personal enrichment instead of Ukraine's interests triggers fury at the very least."
