We have no right not to push back against evil, - Zelensky. VIDEO
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the country needs protected skies and the formation of an air coalition.
According to Censor.NET, citing the President's press service, Zelensky said this in a video link to the participants of Strategic Ark, an "important dialogue on world security".
"This forum takes place on a significant date. On 18 May 1792, a hundred thousandth Russian army crossed the borders of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and invaded its land. The Russian-Polish war began, the consequences of which we all remember. Today, it is the same enemy. The same goal. The same price of defeat. We have no right to lose. We have no right to weaken resistance and opposition for a moment. We have no right not to push back against evil, to lose the unity of our allies, to lay down our arms prematurely, not to fight until the final victory," Zelensky said.
He noted that Russia "does not care about the end of the war", but rather "about the end of money so that the bloodshed continues".
"Russia does not need peace, but time - for new missiles, a new plan, a new attack. This is the formula of Russian policy, unchanged for centuries. The 21st century should be its last. The Ukrainian formula for peace contains the mechanisms to implement this. Security guarantees so that this will never happen again," the President stressed.
"To prevent the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people on 18 May 1944 from happening again," Zelensky said.
It will happen again, the president said, "without a war crimes tribunal" it will return.
"We need protected skies and the formation of an air coalition. We will definitely see the 'Fighting Falcons' in the sky," Zelensky said.
