President Volodymyr Zelenskyy supported Ukrainians who continue to resist the Russian occupiers.
"Free people of a free country! Free Slavutych that the invaders will not conquer! Today all of us were with you, in your streets. We joined your protest. And all together, we said the only thing to the occupiers:" Go home while you can yet walk. "Russian invaders entered Slavutych and met there the same reaction as in the south and the east of our country," - he stated in his video address.
The President noted that Ukraine is united in the desire to live freely and independently - "for the sake of our own dreams, not other people's sick fantasies."
"Every day of the fight for our state, every demonstration of our resistance in all the places where the occupiers came ... For now! ... these things prove that Ukraine is a state full of life, with its historical roots and moral basis over the whole territory. "Nothing that occupiers do will help them: turning off our television and activating the Moscow TV presenters' "mantra chanting," propaganda leaflets, distribution of rubles. Rubles that in Russia will soon be accepted based on their physical and not nominal weight," - Zelenskyy said.
"Bribing the marginals that the occupiers are looking for in all the dumps to portray the allegedly pro-Russian government will not help either. The answer to Russian troops will be the only one - hatred and contempt!", - the President said.
Today the President of the USA, Joe Biden, condemned Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine, having declared that the President of Russia shouldn't keep the power.
After meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Poland, the US president called Putin, a "butcher." Earlier, Biden called the Russian President a "war criminal" and a "dictator-murderer, a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine."
