“Dear Ukrainians!
Our heroes!
The world has always loved those who fight against evil.
It was our resistance, the courage of all our people that inspired the world. Millions of people in different countries. Who 17 days ago might not have felt what they all have in common. We all have. And now it’s obvious. Peace. Freedom. And love for our children. The children we are fighting for. For them to have a future” (Volodymyr Zelensky, 13.03.2022).
On the 17th Day of the Russian-Belorussian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky releases a powerful speech. Where he address key things after over 2 weeks of fighting the Russian and Belorussian armies. As well, as other allies of the Russian who has participated on their side of the war. What he was saying today was significant and therefore needs to be addressed. It has to be spread and show the courage of the Ukrainians who are battling a superior power on their homeland.
He starts with:
“The 17th day of the war is over. War for the right to be free. For the right to live on our land the way we, Ukrainians, want it. Not the way someone came up with for us. And against us. Against our nature. Against our character. The Russian invaders cannot conquer us. They do not have such strength. They do not have such spirit. They are holding only on violence. Only on terror. Only on weapons, which they have a lot. But the invaders have no natural basis for normal life. So that people can feel happy and dream. They are organically incapable of making life normal! Wherever Russia has come to a foreign land, dreams are impossible. Only a very hard struggle for survival. As a result of the attack on our land, on Ukraine, the Russian leadership is actually turning its state into an analogue of the so-called “DPR” and “LPR”. Into a large area isolated from the rest of the world. Where poverty will reign. Where everything will be determined only by violence. And where people will flee. In any manner they can and whoever can” (Volodymyr Zelensky, 13.03.2022).
This is the words of a man in the midsts of war saying this. As knows what is going on and the bravery of his soldiers and nation. They are striving to keep it up and using all means on the battlefield. While telling what will happen if they fall. How the Russian will not be merciful or give any incentive for a hostile takeover. It will only become a vassal state and annex territory under the bondage of Moscow. That’s why the fight for survival and for independence is so important.
He speaks of the betrayal in the city of Kherson:
“The invaders in the Kherson region are trying to repeat the notorious experience of the formation of pseudo-republics. Blackmail local leaders, put pressure on deputies. Look for someone to bribe. They’re trying to organize the so-called “KPR”. Stillborn as “DPR” and “LPR”. To organize some “committees” against the legitimate government on our land. And against the will of the people who go out to protest every day. And who want Ukraine. I am grateful to them. I want to tell some figures who lacked the disgust to refuse to talk to the invaders… I want to say – if some of them were suddenly tempted by proposals from the invaders… You sign your sentence. The sentence is to follow more than 12,000 invaders who failed to understand in time why Ukraine should not be encroached upon. An emergency meeting of the Kherson Regional Council took place. 44 deputies decided that the Kherson region is Ukraine, and no pseudo-republics have a place there” (Volodymyr Zelensky, 13.03.2022).
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, as this is a well-known tactic of Moscow and using the “newly” formed “people’s republic’s” to gain control of a territory. In such a manner, that the area and its administrative power gets under the wings of Kremlin. That isn’t shocking anyone and the President is righteous in his assessment that anyone working with the Russians at this time is betraying their nation. They are signing of their fate and becoming wartime collaborationism and should be shunned. The ones signing off and becoming stooges of Russian and directly acting in treason of Ukraine. Therefore, Zelensky is right in saying they have given themselves a sentence, as they have stopped working for the liberty and freedom of Ukraine, but has chosen to be under the control of Kremlin. That is tragic, but the reality of this and the members who did it. Should be worried about what happens when the war is over. Their names will be tainted like the treasonous and war collaborators who cooperated with Nazi-Germany in the 1940s.
I will end with this part of the speech:
“On every occasion, I constantly repeat to our friends and partners abroad that they should do more for Ukraine, for Ukrainians. Because it is not only for Ukraine. This is for everyone in Europe. Evil that purposefully bombs peaceful cities… Evil that fires even at ambulances and blows up hospitals will not be able to stop at one country. If it has the strength to go further. I said this at a very important rally in support of our people, which was organized in Europe. More than a hundred thousand people in the squares of Italy and other countries of the continent gathered for a rally in support of Ukraine and against Russian aggression. Millions of people heard my appeal later thanks to broadcasts and recordings. We now enjoy the greatest support in the history of Ukraine for our aspirations and our independence. You can take a public opinion poll in any country and you will see that Ukraine is among the leaders of those who are sympathized with and supported. And Russia is not just among enemies. It is even a bigger enemy, bigger evil than North Korea. That’s what Americans think, for example. Ordinary people in all states. As well as ordinary people in all European countries. And I am grateful to them for this extraordinary support. Grateful for understanding our struggle. Because we are united by one dream – to live freely on our land. And we have the right to what everyone has in the free world. To a safe sky, as well as to our own land” (Volodymyr Zelensky, 13.03.2022).
He has pleaded and been a voice of reason in the midst of the war. The Ukrainian President has pleaded for fighter jets and a “no-fly-zone”, which no one is giving him. Yes, the Polish Government wanted too, but NATO and United States blocked it. When the Warsaw could come to the aide of Ukraine it did, but the others stopped it. That shows that the allies and Europe is hesitant to really help. They are doing more than symbolism, but in comparison to the reality in Kyiv it seems lacking and they are righteous about it.
When your nation is bombed, the enemy sending missiles and killing on the regular. Destroying towns and suburbs with artillery. As the Russian are flatting areas like it did in Chechnya. Now the same is happening Ukraine by the same armies and also participation of forces from Chechnya. That’s the sort of military attacks and mission the Russian are on. Since they are searching for a total surrender and destruction. There is no humanity or care for the victims or the ones who is invaded. These are just supposed to be peasants who bound by law to be part of Russia and the Federation. This is the disgusting brutality and the atrocities, which Zelensky wants to stop in 2022.
We need to support Ukraine and give it what it needs before it’s too late. The one winning is Russia and they can assault Ukraine until their objective is met. The Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn’t care about the casualties or the losses, as long as Kyiv is in his hand. That is all he wants and don’t the deaths. It is just fair game to a guy like him. As long as he doesn’t lose power or lose prestige in Kremlin. That what matters to him. He don’t care and he wants to be an Imperial overlord and have control of the former USSR. That is really it and expect that if he takes Ukraine. He will go further and the war will get another shore than the Black Sea. Peace.
