Zelensky addressed the people of the country on the occasion of Victory Day against Nazism in World War II
In his speech, the president said that “nothing is more dangerous than a cunning enemy, but nothing is more poisonous than a pretend friend.” At the same time, he stressed that now there is a war going on not between the two armies, but between the two worldviews. As Zelensky said, on Victory Day against Nazism, Ukraine is fighting for a new victory, the path of which is difficult. The head of state stressed that Ukrainians are fighting not for “the tsar, the Fuhrer, the party and the leader,” but for the Motherland.
