“All the old evil that modern Russia is bringing back will be defeated the same way Nazism was defeated,” Zelensky said in an address posted on his social media soon following another large-scale Russian attack on Kyiv, the capital. during which more than thirty kamikaze drones were shot down over the capital.

“Just as we destroyed evil together then, we destroy similar evil together now,” he continued. And to add: “This evil, although different today, has the same goal: enslavement or destruction”.

“We will win!” Volodymyr Zelensky promised once more in this recorded speech in front of an imposing World War II memorial complex overlooking the Dnieper River in kyiv.

“We will never forget the contribution of the Ukrainian people to the victory over Nazism,” insisted Mr. Zelensky. “And we won’t allow anyone to lie that victory in this war might have happened without the participation of another country or people,” he said.

Mr. Zelensky once more accused Moscow of having opposed “to” democratic ideals “aggression and annexation, occupation and deportation, massacre and torture, bombardment of cities and burning of villages”.

“We will not lose what we have won, we will recover everything that has been captured by the enemy”, he still assured in this ten-minute speech.
