Zelenskyy calls Russia ‘feigned friend’

 Kyiv, May 9 (UNI) In his World War II Victory Day’s address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday called Russia a ‘feigned friend’ while quoting the words of the country’s great philosopher Hryhorii Skovoroda.
Zelenskyy quoted Skovoroda’s words in his speech,”There is noting more dangerous than an insidious enemy but there is nothing more poisonous than a ‘feigned friend’.
“On February 24, we realised this truth when a feigned friend started a war against Ukraine. This is not a war of two armies. This is a war of two worldviews.”
He also said that Ukrainians are fighting for their children’s freedom and thus, they will win (the ongoing Ukrainian-Russian conflict).
“We are fighting for our children freedom, and therefore we will win. We will never forget what our ancestors did in the World War II, which killed more than eight million Ukrainians. Very soon there will be two Victory Days in Ukraine. And someone won’t have any,” he emphasised.
Zelenskyy said that Khreshchatyk, the main street of Kyiv, will see the victory parade after Ukraine win’s the war.
The President said: “We won then. We will win now. And Khreshchatyk will see the victory parade – the Victory of Ukraine! Happy Victory over Nazism Day! Glory to Ukraine!
“Today we are waging a war and we will not give a single piece of our land.”
