Ukrainian President Calls for International Support as Russian Assault Continues
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky released another video message on Saturday, February 26, praising his military for repelling Russian attacks and appealing to Western countries for more support. “We have withstood and successfully repel enemy attacks,” Zelensky said, according to a translation provided with the footage. "The fighting continues in many cities and districts of our state, but we know what we are defending. The country, the land, the future of children. “Kyiv and key cities around the capital are controlled by our army. The invaders wanted to block the center of our state and put their puppets here, as in Donetsk. We broke their plan,” Zelensky said. Zelensky asked the European Union to make progress in allowing Ukraine to become a member, saying Ukrainians had earned the right to membership. Zelensky urged Ukrainians at home and around the world to fight for their country. “All friends of Ukraine who want to join the defense, come. We will give you weapons,” Zelensky said. Zelensky thanked Russian people who have been protesting the war and appealed to all Russians to do what they can to stop “those who lie, lie to you, lie to us, lie to the whole world. We need to end this war. We can live in peace – in global peace, in human peace.” Credit: Volodymyr Zelensky via Storyful
