Ukraine will fight “to the end” without “any concessions or compromises” with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky launched on Wednesday in an address to the Nation on his country’s Independence Day, which also marks six months of Russian invasion. “We will fight for (our land) until the end,” he said. “We have been holding on for six months. It’s hard but we have clenched our fists and we are fighting for our destiny”.

“For us Ukraine is the whole of Ukraine. All 25 regions, without any concessions or compromises,” he continued. “What is for us the end of the war? Before we said ‘peace’. Now we say ‘victory’. We are not going to try to get along with the Russian terrorists, hammered Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine’s National Day comes on Wednesday under high tension six months after the launch of the Russian invasion, as the United States will announce new military aid of $ 3 billion, the highest ever granted to kyiv . “We must be aware that tomorrow (Wednesday) repulsive Russian provocations and brutal strikes are possible,” Volodymyr Zelensky warned Tuesday evening.

“And we will of course respond to any manifestation of Russian terrorism,” added the Ukrainian president, who had already argued last Saturday that “Russia could strive to do something particularly disgusting, particularly cruel”. In the early hours of August 24, explosions sounded in several cities, such as Kharkiv (north-east), Zaporijjia and Dnipro (center), according to local authorities.
