“We will do everything in our power. We must do it with maximum unity to achieve our goal – so that there is no more empire,” said the Ukrainian president.
He listed Russia’s crimes in Ukraine: aggression against Ukraine, dreams of humiliating the Ukrainian people, massacres, deportation of children and adults, undermining the foundations of Ukrainian culture.
“They are brutally torturing people. They are holding thousands of people captive, torturing them just to take revenge for the fact that Ukraine exists. This is the level of Russian evil,” said the Ukrainian president.
“If such a catastrophic day comes – the day after Ukraine -, Russia will do everything so that the day after Moldova comes, and then the day after the Baltic States, the day after Poland, the day after many others. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are already hearing that Russia does not respect them independence,” Zelensky listed. “Russia’s desire to manipulate everyone is obvious. Now it is dangerous to remain silent, to stand aside or to be alone,” he said of the Kremlin regime’s intentions.
The gathering was also addressed by the President of Lithuania, Gitans Nausėda, who said that today he had “the honor to shake the hand of a man who in recent years has experienced many difficulties, upheavals and challenges as the leader of a warring country. At the decisive moment, he stood up without hesitation and fought against the invaders “.
Nausėda reminded that Ukraine has been defending the dignity of its country for ten years without a break.
“Dear Volodymyr, thank you for what you do, thank you for being there. I want you to know that Ukraine’s determination to defend freedom inspires us here in Lithuania and encourages us to cherish and strengthen it even more,” said the Lithuanian president.
It has already been announced that on Wednesday Zelenskis made an unannounced visit to Lithuania, and then he will also go to Estonia and Latvia.
Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in 2014, occupying part of the country’s eastern territory and the Crimean peninsula. Battles for the territory in the east of Ukraine continued for eight years until on February 24, 2022, Russia began a repeated invasion of Ukraine.
