Volodymyr Zelenskyi in his on the occasion of 100 days stressed that the Ukrainians are now fighting for three words: Peace, Victory, and Ukraine.
"Exactly one hundred days ago, we all woke up in a different reality. In 2014, russia came to us with one word. And this word "war". On February 24, russia added another word to it, making the phrase: "a full-scale war," Zelenskyi stressed.
He stated that during this period - 100 days of the war - some words of the Ukrainian people have acquired new meanings.
"First of all, these are two words: "our heroes". The people who have been defending our state since the night of February 24 to this day. The Ukrainian words-palianytsa, Armed Forces, "Stugna", "Cossack", Zmiinyi, and Chornobayivka. The foreign words that have become native to Ukraine are "Bayraktar", "Harpoon", "Himars", "Starlink", Rzeszów. And "Lend-Lease" is another word, but it reflects it reflects 100 days of struggle, 100 days of diplomacy, 100 days of support," the president said.
Zelenskyi recalled the occupation, liberation, and heroic struggle of Ukrainian settlements.
"Hostomel, Borodyanka, Akhtyrka, Chernihiv. Kharkiv, Kherson, Izyum, Melitopol. Mariupol and Azovstal. And along with them - "army", "artillery", "Marines", "border guards", "intelligence", "National Guards", "police", "territorial defense", "aviation", "our heroic pilots"... The word "ghost". The ghost of Kyiv. Who destroyed enemies and survived. There were also the words that our enemy wanted to erase. "Volnovakha" and "Saltivka", "Popasna" and "Severodonetsk". These are the words that we will definitely write again. But in our own way. Just like "Bucha". And like "Mariupol". And we will surely write them next to the word "tribunal," the head of state stressed.
He noted that it is worth mentioning the "second army of the world". "As what is left of it? War crimes, disgrace, and hatred," Zelenskyi added.
He stressed that "there will be many more words that everyone will know. Which will make sense for everyone. And which will give a chance to millions."
"These words are reconstruction, candidacy, and membership, guarantees and security. And definitely the word "return". Based on the word that was a dream, but will become a reality – "liberation". These are the words of our future! The words about where an enemy warship is heading and will always head. And of course, our folklore already: " Good evening! We are from Ukraine!" Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the nation! And the continuation is familiar to everyone: "Death to the enemies!" Because there are three words for which we have been fighting during the hundred days after eight years: peace, victory, and Ukraine," the president stressed.
Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine launched the "100 days of war" media project. As the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated, "this is a chronology of difficult events, an attempt to demonstrate how communications officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and our fellow journalists see, feel and experience the war. The project is an attempt to demonstrate and imprint in our memory how difficult the days of standing against russian aggression have been this far and remain."
