Ukrainian President Says “Now, Like 80 Years Ago, Ukraine Fights Total Evil”

8 May. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has affirmed this Monday that Russia will be defeated in the framework of its invasion of Ukraine, “just as Nazism was” in World War II, in the framework of the commemorations for the Day of the Victory in Europe.

“We fought then and we fight now so that no one enslaves other nations and destroys other countries. All those ancient evils that modern Russia has brought back will be defeated, just as Nazism was defeated,” Zelensky said during a speech, according to a transcript provided by the Ukrainian Presidency through its website.

Thus, he pointed out that “on May 8, Ukraine and the free world remember six terrible years in the history of humanity.” “From 1939 to 1945 were years in which millions of people died, including eight million Ukrainians. They were years of occupation and atrocities, bloody battles and bombings, blockades and executions, the Holocaust,” he specified.

“Different nations opposed evil with unity, as allies in the coalition against Hitler. The nations of Europe and America, Asia, Australia, Africa. Each has its own history of combat in that war, with the common history of victory “, he extolled, before noting that “on May 8 most of the nations of the world remember the greatness of the victory against the Nazis”.

“We will not allow the joint victory of the coalition nations against Hitler to be appropriate and we will not allow lies, as if the victory could have taken place without the participation of any country or nation. Together we destroy evil, in the same way in the that now we oppose a similar evil together”, he argued.

Zelensky, who has revealed that he will submit a bill to Parliament so that May 8 be recognized as the Day of Remembrance and Victory against Nazism, has emphasized that “while the heroism of millions of Ukrainians is remembered in that war against Nazism, you see that same heroism in the actions of soldiers today.

“Unfortunately, the evil has returned. Just as the evil then descended on our cities and villages, the same is happening now. Just as it killed our people then, the same is doing now. Although it is another aggressor, the The objective is the same. Enslavement or destruction. Just like in World War II, we are not alone in the face of evil,” he explained.

“We fought together in the same way, together with the rest of the free world, with the states and peoples who then created a joint victory,” he stressed, before stressing that “this enemy once again puts aggression against our ideals and annexation, occupation and deportation, mass murder, torture, bombing of cities and burning of villages.”

For this reason, the Ukrainian president has asserted that a Ukrainian victory “will be the answer to all this.” “The victory of Ukraine and the free world. The liberation of our lands. The return of our people. The protection of our values. And, inevitably, justice against the hateful ideology of the ‘Ruscists’,” he said, using a term that unites ‘Russian’ and ‘racist’.

“Now, like 80 years ago, Ukraine is fighting against total evil. Now, like 80 years ago, Ukraine is fighting for the future, its own and that of the whole of Europe, that of the whole free world. Now, as it does 80 years, we trust in the common strength of free nations and we know that together with them we will always be part of a free Europe that will not submit to evil,” he said.

“We will remember all the states and nations that joined us in the fight for freedom. We will never say that victory could have taken place without any of them. It will be a joint success, and I am sure the world will call that one the same. day: Ukrainian Victory Day. The day we drive out the last occupant of our land,” he said.

For this reason, he pointed out that Ukraine “will not lose what it has won, it will recover everything captured by the enemy, it will rebuild what has been destroyed and it will protect everything.” “We still do not know the date of our victory, but we know that it will be a holiday for all of Ukraine, all of Europe and all of the free world,” she added.
