Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that a "very difficult" next week awaits, as he stated in an address to the Ukrainian people on November 21, adding that work "on the diplomatic front for our peace" will continue, UNN writes.
Dear Ukrainians, next week will be very difficult, full of events. You are a mature, intelligent, conscious people who have proven this many times, who understand that at this time there will be a lot of pressure, political, informational, various, to weaken us, to divide us.
The President emphasized: "The enemy is not sleeping and will do everything to ensure that we fail. Will we let them do this? We have no right. And we will succeed, because those who seek to destroy us do not know us well, do not understand who we really are, what we are about, what we stand for, what kind of people we are."
"It is not for nothing that we celebrate the Day of Dignity and Freedom as a national holiday. This speaks to who we are, what our values are," the Head of State pointed out.
We will work on the diplomatic front for our peace. We must work unitedly within Ukraine for our peace, for our dignity, for our freedom. And I believe, and I know, that I am not alone. With me are our people, society, warriors, partners, allies, all our people are dignified, free, united.
"Happy Day of Dignity and Freedom. Glory to Ukraine!" - the President stressed.
