Zelenski remembers the Nazi invasion and affirms that "all the occupants end up fleeing"

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, commemorated the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the country from Nazi troops at dawn this Friday, assuring that Russia "will flee" from Ukraine as "all the occupiers" do, and also affirming that the Ukrainians know that "the darkest night becomes the dawn".

"The day of the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis on the 247th day of the war becomes a symbol: the result of our struggle is definitely the liberation of our Ukraine. In the future, Kherson, Donbas, Lugansk, and Crimea. Our land always becomes free and resistance becomes pride," the Ukrainian leader said in his daily address to the Ukrainian population.

Zelenski maintained that in these almost 80 years "the form of evil has changed" and that it "always begins in the same way": "The invaders call themselves liberators and the Army's invasion is 'in self-defense'".

The Ukrainian head of state stressed that, like eight decades ago, the Ukrainian people "stand up for the defense of their homeland." adding that foreign invasions in Ukraine always end "in the same way" and that war criminals become defendants.

"Destruction becomes to repair. Enemy equipment becomes museum exhibits. Grandfathers' deeds become grandsons' victories," Zelensky said.

For this reason, the president encouraged the Ukrainian population to resist, maintaining that "the second Army in the world will be smaller and smaller" and that the enemy's losses "will be larger and larger."

"I am sure that hostile propaganda does not work, provocations do not work, threats do not scare. Any harsh winter will not scare us. We know that the darkest night becomes the dawn. The darkest times for us are not without light but without will," Zelensky concluded.
