Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that, after five months of Russian attacks, Ukraine will continue to do all it can to inflict as much damage on its enemy as possible.
"Even the occupiers admit we will win," he said in his nightly video address, as quoted by Reuters. "We hear it in their conversations all the time. In what they are telling their relatives when they call them."
Zelenskyy hailed the upcoming day of Ukrainian statehood, July 28, a new annual holiday that he announced in August last year.
Like every day in the last months, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was not letting up. "We do everything to inflict the highest possible damage on the enemy and to gather for Ukraine as much support as possible."
He said Ukraine had an important week ahead and stressed, "But we will celebrate against all odds. Because Ukrainians won't be cowed."
