“Do you remember how Russia bragged that they would seize Kyiv in 48 hours? Instead, Ukraine has been repelling the enemy for 48 days. Today it is worth remembering. It is worth remembering that the Russian leadership expected to see the parade of occupiers on Khreschatyk a few days after February 24, after the beginning of the invasion. Instead they see orderly ranks of occupiers every day, whom our defenders send to hell. In 48 hours, which stretched for 48 days, the Russian army has reached a level of irreparable losses higher than that of the Soviet Union in 10 years of war in Afghanistan. Higher than that of Russia in the two wars in Chechnya” – President Volodymyr Zelensky (13.04.2022).
The Ukrainian President Zelensky continues to speak of the strength of his army. That is righteous at this point. He is proving that the resilience and will of the Ukrainian forces is beyond what everyone thought. Also, the Russian-Belorussian invasion didn’t go as planned, neither did they get the welcoming parades that Kremlin and Russian media promised their soldiers. The Russians met another type of enemy and they outsmarted them. As the conventional warfare of Russia wasn’t prepared for the will of defence from Ukraine.
That shows that Putin and Kremlin is willing to sacrifice lots of youths on the altar of his ego and the will to get puppets to rule in Ukraine. He wants a puppet and known crook in Kyiv. Instead of having a real representative and someone who is elected by the people of Ukraine. Because that all that Putin wants and his willing to kill the next generation to get that. Putin and his allies is willing to sacrifice the conscripts and soldiers. Just so he can resume the leadership of a Ukrainian oligarch on the throne, which will be loyal to Putin. That is all that matters to Kremlin and the Duma. They don’t value the people of Ukraine or anything else. This is why they are genocidal and using war-crimes to “win”. Since they are not there to win hearts, but incite fear and control of a ones occupied.
Zelensky continues:
“Today in Russia it was once again stated that their so-called “special operation” is supposedly going according to the plan. But, to be honest, no one in the world understands how such a plan could even emerge. How could a plan providing for the death of tens of thousands of your own soldiers in a little more than a month of war emerge? Who could approve such a plan? And what is the final level of their own losses acceptable for this person? Dozens or even hundreds of thousands of dead Russians? Obviously, no one in Moscow cares about the number of Ukrainian civilians killed” (Zelensky, 13.04.2022).
Here we see that point, that Kremlin and Russian Federation doesn’t value the Ukrainians. They just want them under their boots and enslave them to their will. That’s the sacrifice of the Russian soldiers and what the Kremlin hopes to achieve. They want Kyiv to be a vassal state of Moscow and the costs of doing so doesn’t matter to Putin. The deaths, the rapes and the destruction of Ukraine doesn’t matter. As long as he gets his will and get someone he can control. Just like he can say or do whatever and he knows Minsk will deliver. That’s the sort of “friendship” and “diplomatic relations” he wants with Kyiv.
Zelensky further says:
“Many people like to mock the occupiers, troll their failures, the level of training of their soldiers and the questionable quality of the “latest” Russian equipment, which has been developed over the past 20 years and is inferior to Soviet models. And rightly so. That’s fair. But at the same time, we must understand that not all Russian tanks are stalled in the field. Not all enemy soldiers simply flee the battlefield. And not all of them are conscripts who do not know how to hold weapons properly. This does not mean we should be afraid of them. This means we must not belittle the merits of our soldiers, our army” (Zelensky, 13.04.2022).
The Ukrainian forces has achieved a massive blow to the Russian forces on the front-line. That’s why the Russian had to change strategy and retreat from several of areas, which has in the end also shown the sinister acts of the Russian occupation inside Ukraine. Where they are willing to make mass-graves of civilians, torture and rape them too. There is no bound of the evil deeds and war-crimes committed to takeover territory. Therefore, the Ukrainian doesn’t need to belittle the Russian war-effort, as they are struggling and have bad equipment even. That can be used as an advantage and make easier to overcome them. Since, the Ukrainian forces can use other strategic means to counter this and destroy the Russian enemies, which they have shown time and time again in this conflict.
He ends with:
“The future of Ukraine directly depends on the strength of our resistance in all its forms. The future of us all, each of our cities, each of our villages. And I am grateful to everyone who understands this. Who does not stop resisting even when it seems that the result is very far. Because the darkest time is always before dawn” (Zelensky, 13.04.2022).
This is just showing the strength and resolve of the Ukrainian people. Their will and resistance in the midst of horrors. There is no peace and justification of this war. Still, they have to carry the defence and the suffering, which is inflicted on them. The Ukrainian people needs support, the Ukrainian forces needs support and they need it more than ever. They have shown the world what they are capable of and it is a just cause.
Ukraine needs military support and aid more than ever. The European nations needs to understand this. They need to help and give what Kyiv needs. Not just show solidarity, which the West is really good at doing. The Ukrainian government need the West and they shouldn’t forget this. If Ukraine falls… the Russian could easily target other Republic’s too. Peace.
