“Ukrainian resilience along this line – from Kupyansk to Pokrovsk and further to Zaporizhzhia – can provide the fundamental prerequisites for the just end of this war,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the annual message the Verkhovna Rada on Nov. 19.
Glory to Ukraine!
Ukrainians have endured a thousand days of this war already. They did not break. They did not surrender. They did not lose their statehood.
Ukrainians have withstood a thousand days of full-scale war. This is a feat of our warriors and the entire Ukrainian people. Millions of our citizens.
Each and every one deserves gratitude – huge gratitude.
Glory to Ukraine!
Yesterday, I visited Pokrovsk, Kupyansk, and the positions of our warriors near these Ukrainian cities.
For many long months, our Pokrovsk and Kupyansk have been enduring severe trials, a truly difficult situation, and have been constantly mentioned in the news and in every aspect of life.
It is precisely there, along with the neighboring defensive lines in our Ukrainian Donetsk region in our Kharkiv region, that Russia has willingly incurred its highest losses in this war.
And we must all understand what the enemy is paying such a price for.
Russia wants to destroy us, our state, our people, our resilience.
Ukrainian resilience along this line – from Kupyansk to Pokrovsk and further to Zaporizhzhia – can provide the fundamental prerequisites for the just end of this war.
And this resilience is not only about our warriors.
