Speaking at a press conference, the president said: “Please stop those who are lying or trying to lie to you or lying to us. We need to stop this war. We can live in peace together, globally as humans.
“Our military, our national guard, our national police, our territory defence, special service, nationals of Ukraine, please carry on. We will win. Glory to Ukraine.”
Zelenskyy pointed out that Ukraine’s forces are succeeding in defending the country against Russia’s attacks.
“We are successfully holding back the enemies’ attacks. We know we are defending our land and the future of our children. Kyiv and the key areas are controlled by our army.
“The occupiers wanted to set up their puppet in our capital. They didn’t succeed. On our streets, there was a proper fight going on.
“The enemy was using all its weapons, artillery, paratroops, all its weapons. They are hitting residential areas, they are trying to destroy energy infrastructure, and everyone should help us to stop this occupation,” Zelenskyy added.
