Zelenskyy: Ukraine does not need foreign regions, we need peace, tranquility on our lands
Ukraine does not need foreign regions, but peace and tranquility along the 6,992-kilometer border, said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"33 years ago, Ukraine was reborn on the maps of the world, and today Ukraine wins the hearts of the entire world. It inspires with courage. It serves as an example of how not to be afraid of Putin. And it unites the world around its Ukrainian worldview: in the 21st century, terrorists should find their reckoning in The Hague, not comfort in Valday. And no one else in the world will say: 'Where is Ukraine?' Because every continent now says: 'Ukraine must win,'" the president said in his video address on the occasion of Independence Day.
"This fuels our independence. Our Ukraine. It has no lack of foreign regions. We need peace and tranquility on our lands. Along our entire 6,992-kilometer border. On land, at sea, in the air, inside the country – wherever we stand guard for our values," Zelenskyy stressed.
