President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russian forces will be defeated in Ukraine like Nazi Germany was beaten in World War II, commemorating Victory in Europe Day.
Zelensky said in a video statement standing in front of a war memorial, all the old evil that modern Russia was bringing back would be defeated just as Nazism was defeated.
His address came on the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender to Allied forces on eight May, nineteen forty-five, and one day ahead of Victory Day in Moscow, celebrating the Soviet Union’s victory in World War II.
Zelensky said he had submitted a bill to parliament to formally commemorate World War II in Ukraine on eight May, and celebrate Europe Day on nineth May, distancing itself further from Moscow.
