Zelensky: “Land-Lease will help Ukraine to overcome the ideological successors of the Nazis who are fighting against us on our land”

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Ukrainians at the end of the 65th day of the russian invasion of Ukraine.

The main theses of his speech:

• Our military has important tactical success in the Kharkiv region.

• In Donbas, the occupiers are trying to destroy all the residential areas, and make this area uninhabited.

• The actions of the occupiers in Mariupol even surpass the level of cynicism of the Nazis during World War II.

• The President expressed his hope that the Land-Lease program approved by the United States will help defeat putin's troops, just as the same program helped defeat Hitler's troops.

• The occupiers are deliberately destroying the infrastructure for the production, supply and storage of fuel. But government officials promise that a system of fuel supply to Ukraine will be provided that our country will be able to prevent a deficit. In the EU we will be able to take as much fuel as we need.

• Currently, 27 foreign diplomatic missions operate in the capital of our country. And this is an extremely important gesture of support for Ukraine.

• In the temporarily occupied areas of the Kherson region, collaborators say that they are allegedly preparing for the transition to the “ruble zone”. But russia itself will suffer from that – sanctions and other reactions of the free world to russia’s aggressive actions will not be delayed.

• An employee of Radio Liberty Vera Hyrych was killed by a russian missile hitting a residential building in Kyiv. She became the 23rd media representative whose life was cut short as a result of the russian invasion.
