Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has likened his country’s struggle against the aggressor Russia to resisting the Nazis in World War II. Like National Socialism, Moscow pursues the same goals. “The form of evil has changed, but the essence is unchanged,” he said in a video message distributed Friday evening in Kiev.
Russia has turned from neighbor to aggressor and terrorist – and is guilty of war crimes. Standing next to a downed combat drone (pictured above), Zelenskyj said peaceful cities were repeatedly bombed with bombs and missiles.
In the past two days alone, there have been 30 Russian strikes with Iranian drones, 23 of which have been shot down. Russia mines or seizes power plants, steals crops to threaten the planet with hunger. It kidnaps people, including children.
“Evil has risen again from the ashes”
Referring to World War II and the Ukrainians’ struggle against the Nazis, Zelenskyy said that “evil has risen from the ashes after 80 years”. He lamented that since the war started on February 24, the aggressor Russia had fired 4,500 missiles at Ukraine and carried out a total of 8,000 air strikes.
Zelenskyy stressed that the Ukrainian resistance is strong. The land will not be broken. The head of state expressed confidence that the intruder would capitulate and be put on the run. Russia will also pay reparations; and the occupied territories of Kherson, Luhansk, Donetsk and the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea would be free again.
