Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyi saluted Ukrainians on Ukrainian Defenders’ Day with an inspiring video:
“The winter of 2022 has already become a part of world history. We withstood a blow from a powerful enemy. We have demonstrated what it means to be Ukrainian, to have the courage to fight for your freedom.
“In fierce battles, under the steel rain of Russian shells, we held on to every piece of our land. We stopped the enemy onslaught and buried the myth about the invincibility of the Russian army.
“And now we’re taking back what’s rightfully ours. No one and nothing will stop us.
“We have chosen the path of warriors and are moving forward. The whole world looks up to us with enthusiasm and hope.
“Greetings on today’s holiday and thank you for your service!
“Together we will win!
“Glory to Ukraine!”
