Zelenskyy: Ukraine to be territory where people are respected

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine will not be a territory of "disrespect for people, disrespect for life."

"We will never allow Ukraine or any other country to become the same territory of disrespect for people, life, and human diversity, as the Russian state has become and wants to make other countries," he said speaking to the Danish and Ukrainian public in Copenhagen on Monday.

Zelenskyy said the start of the large-scale war, when "there was a risk that Europe will again lose itself, as it had already happened in our history. It was a risk that tyranny would win again. It was a risk that culture would lose again."

"When I spoke to our soldiers on the front lines, they told me about the motivation of Russian occupiers. Russian soldiers are less afraid of being killed in the battle than they are afraid of stopping aggression and returning home. A free person can even hardly imagine that. Imagine what Russia is today, if its people fear their return home more than to be killed at war," he said.

Today, Zelenskyy said, "we are confident that Russia will lose this war." "But this is not the only main thing. The main is what we prove with our victory, with our cooperation, what you prove supporting Ukraine. Together we prove that life is a value, that people matter, freedom matters, Europe matters," he said.
