We are working to make the whole world friends of Ukraine - address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is grateful to them. Again on the streets. And as always - for all of us, for Ukraine.
The 25th day has come to an end since the Russian military has gone to the exercise and found themselves on the land. They all say so when taken captive.
It is already the 25th day since the Russian military has been vainly trying to find imaginary “Nazis” from whom they allegedly wanted to defend the people. Just as they are vainly trying to find Ukrainians who would meet them with flowers. At least in one city of the state. At least in one village.
And most importantly - the Russian military cannot find a way home. That is why the soldiers help them with the path to God's judgment.
To God's judgment where President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is sure they receive only one punishment, one for all: the eternal cellar. Forever under the bombs. Forever without food, water and heat. For everything, they did to the people, ordinary Ukrainians. To peaceful people. In Okhtyrka and Kharkiv, in Borodyanka and Chernihiv. In Volnovakha and Mariupol. And many of the other courageous cities.
In besieged Mariupol, Russian aircraft dropped a bomb on an art school. People were hiding there. Hiding from shelling, from bombing. There were no military positions. There were about four hundred civilians. Mostly women and children, the elderly. They are under the debris. Ukraine does not know how many are alive at the moment.
But Ukraine knows that and will definitely shoot down the pilot who dropped that bomb. As Ukraine is already doing to almost a hundred other similar mass murderers.
Today, in the Knesset, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed all deputies and government officials. But first of all, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke on their behalf, on behalf of all Ukrainians with the people of Israel, who, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is sure, understand us. As free people understand free people.
Of course, Israel has its own interests, a strategy to protect its citizens. Ukraine understands that. Israeli Prime Minister Bennett is trying to find a way to negotiate with Russia. And are grateful for that. For every effort. So that sooner or later Ukraine start talking to Russia, perhaps in Jerusalem. This is the right place to find peace. If it is possible.
Well, Russian propagandists, today have a rather difficult task.
After all, for the first time in history, the president of a foreign state spoke in the Knesset via video call. And spoke to the people of Israel. The President of Ukraine accused in Moscow of "Nazism” spoke in the Knesset to the people of Israel.
This fact alone confirms how wrong things are in Moscow.
During the day on March 20, only 4 humanitarian corridors worked. A total of 7,295 people were evacuated. Almost 4,000 Mariupol residents arrived in Zaporizhzhia in one day.
Tomorrow morning Ukraine is preparing to send new buses to Mariupol to continue this important mission. More than 3,000 people were rescued in the Kyiv region. But in the Kharkiv region... Russian troops captured the convoy, the humanitarian cargo for the city of Vovchansk. There is no connection now with six people. Five drivers and one doctor. Ukraine will release them. Ukraine will try again and again to deliver to the people what they need.
The Kherson region fought again today. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is grateful to them. Again on the streets. And as always - for all of us, for Ukraine. With national flags. And with Ukrainian courage. Unarmed against the occupiers. Against shots and military vehicles. This is a feat that inspires us all. This is Ukraine and is proud of. These are Ukrainians to whom President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is immensely grateful. Just as all the people are.
In the afternoon President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson. A true friend of Ukraine who does not hesitate and does not seek excuses.
Ukraine agreed on concrete support for the country at next week's G7 and NATO summits. Although Ukraine is not a member of these organizations, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sees that Ukraine has at least one vote there.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also spoke with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. A star couple who sincerely believe in us, in the victory, in the future. They help Ukrainian IDPs by raising funds. And the two of them have already raised $ 35 million. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked them on behalf of the people, on behalf of all of us. Agree, this is a good result for one couple of the friends in America.
And Ukraine is working to make the whole world friends.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy personally presented state awards to Ukrainian intelligence officers. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy can't say their names publicly.
But believe me, the contribution of these people to the defence is so significant that the orders and the title of Hero of Ukraine for them are the minima Ukraine can give. Just to express gratitude. To them and to all the heroes. Thanks to which Ukraine is holding on. And are doing it pretty well.
And Ukraine lives.
