The evil that the Russian occupiers brought to the Ukrainian land has returned to their territory, and this is regularity and establishment of justice, says President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Ukrainians always pay back their debts. And whoever wished misery upon our land shall find it in their own home. With interest. Whoever seeks to sow evil on our land will reap its fruits on their own territory. This is not a prophecy, not gloating, not blind revenge; it is a pattern. It is justice. A boomerang for evil," Zelenskyy said in his video address on the occasion of the Independence Day of Ukraine.

He noted that the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine 913 days ago, "violated not only the sovereign borders, but also the limits of cruelty and common sense, boundlessly striving for one thing - to destroy us."

"Today we celebrate the 33rd Independence Day of Ukraine. And whatever the enemy was bringing to our land has now returned to their home. And the one who wanted to turn our land into a buffer zone should think about preventing his country from becoming a buffer federation. This is how independence responds," Zelenskyy said.
