Today marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv. And that says a great deal about our resistance, about how Ukraine has fought all this time. Behind those words stand millions of our people, immense courage, incredibly hard work, endurance, and the long path... show more

July 15. Ukraine marks Ukrainian Statehood Day. We are proud to be the heirs of Kyivan Rus and the Cossack state, and to have a thousand years of experience in building our state. A thousand years of courage, of the desire to live in freedom, to live as a sovereign and independent nation, to follow only our own path, and to be who we are – to be Ukraine. We are proud of what everyone has witnessed throughout the full-scale war – Ukraine’s thousand-year-old character. Ukraine respects its history. It remembers every joy and every pain our people have had to endure. But we do not live constantly looking back. We are not focused solely on the history that has already been written. We are shaping Ukraine’s history yet to come. A state that will succeed. An independence that will be guaranteed. From an address on Ukrainian Statehood Day – the Day of the Baptism of Kyivan Rus–Ukraine. (1/5)

Russia began its full scale invasion of Ukraine, four years ago today. We need to have our eyes wide open – Ukrainians are dying to defend freedom so that we do not have to. This war will not end by itself, and we should be doing everything in our power to ensure a just peace.

Our defenders. Everyone who has chosen for themselves the truly honorable path of defending our independence, our state, and our people – the right of Ukrainians to live freely on their own land. Today is your day – the day of millions – of all those who dedicate their lives to the life of Ukraine. A day when Ukrainians honor their defenders. A day when we remember the fallen warriors. Today is the day of millions – the brave. Millions of Ukrainians who come from different regions – yet stand together. Millions who did not fear. Millions who did not betray. Millions who dream of ending this war and who act so that peace may come sooner. We thank every man and woman who defends Ukraine. And we remember the price of this defense. We remember every life. Glory to Ukraine.

Today is Europe Day. And Ukraine is marking it not formally or through sloganeering, but fully aware that we are already an inseparable part of the European family. We are defending Ukraine, our independence, our future – and in doing so, we in Ukraine are defending our Europe. A Europe of which Ukraine has been and will remain a part. From the first days of the full-scale war until today, Europe has stood with Ukraine. And this is not charity – it is a choice made by Europeans: to stand on the same side as the brave and the strong – the Ukrainians who are fighting today for peace and true protection against tyranny, not only for themselves, but for the entire continent. And we will inevitably defend our state, our people, and our right to freely choose our future – a future in Europe. Glory to Ukraine!

“Ukraine deserves a century of peace, silence, and calm,” - Zelenskyy at the Second National Forum of Talented Youth. "We have fought for so many years, and in every century… Surely, we deserve a century of peace, silence, and calm. It’s great when every nation has its own face. And I believe our country does have its own face. What matters most is that no one has the right to spit in that face. We will respond immediately - and this war has proven it. I wish for everyone to love Ukraine and respect our beautiful state. Glory to Ukraine!"

'We have been attempted to be conquered dozens of times' — Zelensky improvises the history of Ukraine on the go. 'Our people have endured dozens of attempts to conquer our state, to conquer Ukraine. Every attempt, every effort to subjugate Ukraine ended with Ukraine being reborn. All attempts to erase Ukraine and Ukrainians ended with enemy empires falling apart. Ukraine has survived not just one who tried to wipe our people off the face of the earth. Ukraine has survived them all.' - SK

Ukraine has withstood numerous strikes thanks to the strength of our warriors. Thanks to those who did not retreat, who became a shield for their country. We are proud of each and every one who defends Ukraine. We honor the memory of all fallen Ukrainian defenders, those who made the ultimate sacrifice for a free Ukraine. And we will certainly preserve what they fought for. We will defend our independence. We will not betray our heroes. We will not betray Ukraine. Eternal honor and blessed memory to all fallen Ukrainian warriors.

Russia’s war against Ukraine did not start on February 24, 2022. It started over a decade ago — in Crimea. And every day since, Canada has been clear: we stand with the people of Ukraine.

Eternal memory and eternal glory to those who gave their lives for Ukraine. May their deaths and heroism not be in vain.

Our National Legend ceremony this year highlights a very important, key – in fact fundamental – pillar of statehood. It highlights the truth – about us, our history, our fight. This truth is simple: Ukraine was, Ukraine is, Ukraine will be. One of the symbols of this is our National Legends. Those who create for people and bring glory to Ukraine for decades. Those who fought for Ukraine and our people long before its official revival. And all those who have shown their very best, their legendary qualities and virtues, during the full-scale war. All of you – through your work, talent, courage, and resilience that you have demonstrated all this time – you prove: Ukraine is always legendary. We thank you! We thank our warriors and all our people! Glory to Ukraine!

Four years ago today, Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Despite the enormous suffering these four years have brought, the Ukrainian people remain undaunted and determined to take back their country. Putin has made it clear he has no desire for peace, and believes if he waits long enough he will achieve his objectives. We cannot allow that to happen. If we bungle this, it will be a disaster for the deterrence that President Trump has worked so hard to restore, and will embolden not only Putin, but bad actors around the world. Ukraine's fight is our fight. Let's give them what they need to finish the job.

Our struggle today is not the beginning of history; it’s its logical continuation. We have been defending our land for 1,500 years. For exactly the same amount of time, Russia has been trying to occupy Ukraine.

President of Ukraine: We will work calmly with the US and all our partners. There will be a constructive search for solutions with our main partner. We will definitely not give the enemy any reason to say that Ukraine does not want peace, that it is disrupting the process, and that Ukraine is not ready for diplomacy. This is the dignity and freedom of Ukrainians, because everything else is based on this: our sovereignty, our independence, our land, our people, and Ukraine's future. We will and must do everything we can to ensure that in the end, there is an end to the war and not an end to Ukraine, Europe, and global peace. I have just spoken with Europeans, and we are counting on our European friends, who understand that Russia is not far away, that it is close to the EU's borders, and that Ukraine is now the only shield separating comfortable European life from Putin's plans. We remember that Europe was with us, and we believe that Europe will be with us. Ukraine should not experience déjà vu of February 24, when we felt that we were alone, when no one could stop Russia except our heroic people, who stood as a wall against Putin's army. And we were certainly very pleased when the world said, "Ukrainians are incredible. God, how Ukrainians fight, how Ukrainians struggle, what titans they are." And that is absolutely true. But Europe and the whole world must understand another truth - that Ukrainians are, first and foremost, people. And for almost four years of full-scale invasion, we have been holding back one of the largest armies in the world, and we are holding a front line of several thousand kilometers. And every night, our people endure shelling, missile attacks, ballistic missile and Shaded strikes. And every day, our people lose someone close to them. And our people really, really want this war to end. We are, of course, made of steel, but even the strongest metal can give way. Don't forget that. Stand with Ukraine, stand with our people. And therefore, stand with dignity and freedom.

Finnish President Stubb: Russia has been waging its war of aggression against Ukraine for almost four years. Its actions are illegal and immoral. We are closer to peace than ever during the war, but at the same time we cannot be sure whether Russia is ready for peace. Peace is most often a compromise, and we must prepare for the fact that all parts of a peace agreement will likely not meet our sense of justice. However, we will do everything we can to ensure that Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are preserved. Ukraine is part of a free and democratic Europe now and in the future. We will continue to support Ukraine, we will not tire, and together with our allies we will ensure that Russia will never again attack its neighbor.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today we celebrate the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – an independent Ukraine, a Ukraine that knows how to defend itself, a Ukraine that stands in such a way that there is simply no one in the world who could afford to ignore us, our state. And even those in the world who still do not believe in Ukraine or simply do not know enough about Ukraine, are still forced to reckon with how Ukraine will react. Few states in the world have such weight. Even fewer could really stand against such Russian strikes, assaults, and meanness, from which Ukraine is actually defending itself every day and every night. We are deterring a full-scale Russian invasion. We have been holding back Russian murderers for almost four years of full-scale war – after years of hybrid war – we are keeping them behind the front line. Ukraine exists, and the fate of Ukraine really matters, and the world must reckon with this. And this is solely because we have you, Ukrainian warriors, Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian sergeants, Ukrainian officers, and everyone who works for our defense, everyone who provides the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine. I congratulate all of you, Ukrainian warriors, on the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I am proud of you, Ukrainian defenders, Ukrainian defenders. Glory to the Ukrainian warriors! Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!

We are bringing home an outstanding son of the Ukrainian people – an exemplary warrior and a prominent Ukrainian statesman, Colonel Yevhen Konovalets. Throughout his conscious life, he fought for Ukraine to be restored and to gain real independent strength. Unfortunately, at that time, Ukraine was unable to establish itself. There was not enough unity, not enough wisdom among the political leaders of the time, not enough ability to build genuine ties with the world. But Ukraine’s time has come. Independence was restored, and we defended Ukraine’s right to be itself. No one will ever remove the blue-and-yellow flags from Kyiv again, and it is only Ukraine that will choose its national path. Now, remembering Ukraine’s struggle for liberation, we all know with absolute certainty what mistakes must not be made. We know what Ukraine needs and where we must focus our attention and efforts. We know what national priorities our state must have. Glory to Ukraine!

Zelensky says that he’s pushing for a peace plan: “Many people are dying, we don't have the men to continue the war much longer. Ukraine does not want the war to continue for many years. We do not have that much time. Many people are dying" Prediction: Putin will not agree to any deal that doesn’t include them taking Ukrainian land, and Ukraine not joining NATO. He will not want to give Biden the win before the election and will gamble on Trump winning so that Trump helps dismantle our alliances.
