Resistance of our people in occupied territories gives us confidence that we will restore our state – Zelensky
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said that the resistance of Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories gives confidence that the Ukrainian state will be restored.
"We will all rebuild our state together ... Confidence in this is recharged by the energy of our resistance, our protest," Zelensky said in a video message on Saturday evening.
"Freedom Square in Kherson is the whole of Ukraine. The streets of Konotop, where locals shout at the invaders, are Ukraine. It is a special heroism to protest when your city is occupied, albeit temporarily," he added.
