Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recently delivered a speech to Russia and its President V. Putin.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The first half of the sermon was in Ukrainian while the second half was in Russian.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Clearly charged and anxious as the war draws to a close, the President of Ukraine proceeded with an unprecedented event:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first time, a president of a country makes a speech that is clearly addressed to the president of another country and to the West!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Characteristic of the situation and the extremely difficult position of the Ukrainians is the order that came from the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u00a0<\/span>“that the Ukrainian soldiers should not react to any Russian provocation, especially on the line of contact.”<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In short, the Ukrainian ED received orders of ”\u00a0<\/span>strategic composure”!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What Zelensky said in the sermon<\/span><\/h2>\n

Zelensky spoke for 13 minutes and moved on 3 axes:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. He spoke about the readiness of the Ukrainian ED<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The situation as it is shaped by the Russian forces on the border.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The support of Ukraine from other countries.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    He said in detail<\/span><\/h3>\n

    “I will tell you honestly about the situation facing Ukraine<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    My country does not want a war with Russia but is prepared to defend itself.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    My country is in the 8th year of the war.\u00a0I need alliances and allies to accept Ukraine as a partner.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Ukraine is the stronghold of the West against Russian aggression<\/span><\/em>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Ukraine and Russia, despite their common past, see the future differently.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    We are us and you are you.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    But this is not necessarily a problem, it is an opportunity.\u00a0We must stop counting the dead before it is too late.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Mr Putin, I’m ready to go further and invite you to meet wherever you want in Donbass, Ukraine, where the war is going on.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    It is impossible to bring peace with tanks!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
