The President of Ukraine addressed the nation.
The occupiers are feverish and it only shows that that they are not sure of their victory. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in his video address to Ukrainians following the 49th day of the war.
“All this feverish activity of the occupiers testifies first of all to their insecurity. The fact that even with significant reserves of Soviet military equipment and a significant number of soldiers, whom the command does not spare the word “in general”, the Russian military doubts its ability to break Ukraine. Well, we do everything to justify their doubts. I am grateful to all our defenders, to all our defenders who hold their positions and accustom Russian soldiers to the idea that this war against Ukraine can only end in Russia's strategic loss – sooner or later. Either the Russian leadership will really seek peace, or as a result of this war, Russia will leave the international arena forever, “Zelensky said.
Highlights from the President's evening address:
