Zelensky: “We will return what is ours, we will not allow our writers to be annexed”
Ukraine will regain its “historical heritage” - fighters against Nazism, writers, athletes, and also build a “strong country” on enterprises that still survived the collapse of the USSR.
The President of the country, Vladimir Zelensky, stated this while speaking at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of independence, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We will return what is ours - these are the historical, cultural values of our state that are located abroad. We will never again give a single pebble of our history to anyone, we will not allow them to occupy a single page of our history, to annex our writers, our scientists, our athletes, our heroes who defeated Nazism,” Zelensky said
“What is a strong country? A country that dreams ambitiously and acts decisively, that is not afraid of the word “for the first time.” Therefore, for the first time in 30 years, Antonov is building three aircraft for the state. Helicopters are built for the army on Ukrainian blades. New tanks are being built this year. A strong country revives its navy, naval bases and builds a corvette. A strong country is a country that hosts a 10-year rocket program, that builds thousands of kilometers of roads, hundreds of schools and hospitals, and that is the first in the world to have a digital passport,” the president added.
“We understand that without the helicopters of Zaporozhye, the Antonov planes, Ukraine would not have conquered the sky, without the ships of Nikolaev would not have conquered the sea, without the Dnieper Yuzhmash, without the Zhytomyr resident Korolev, the Bukovinian Kadenyuk, Ukraine would never have conquered space, and without the Kharkov T- 34 of ours would not have won on the fields of World War II,” Zelensky said.
At the same time, the president emphasized that in a sober state all this does not look very festive.
“Without a cup of Lviv coffee, the morning is not so cheerful, without a glass of Odessa wine, the evening is not so pleasant, and without a glass of homemade liqueur from any corner of Ukraine, Independence Day is not so festive,” says the Ukrainian guarantor.
