“On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a total war against us. And this is a war for survival. Hundreds of Ukrainian cities and villages were simply burned to the ground due to Russian strikes. We have already managed to liberate 1,888 settlements from Russian occupation. But almost as many Ukrainian towns and villages remain under occupation. And this means that now, the fate of millions of people is being decided on the battlefield in Ukraine. Millions that could be saved,” noted the President of Ukraine.
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine has no right to leave its citizens under Russian occupation.
“We have no right to leave any of our people in Russian occupation. And in Russian infiltration camps, where thousands have already disappeared. And on Russian territory, where hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians were forcibly deported. We can release them. This is our hope. This is what your support means. It’s not about politics, it’s about life,” explained the Ukrainian President.
