Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (19) released a new video on Sunday, saying that he will not hand over the south of the country to Russia.
The statement came the day after a surprise visit to the southern cities of Mykolaiv and Odessa, the president’s first visit to southern Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian occupation.
“We will not give the South to anyone and we will take back everything that was ours, the sea will be Ukrainian and safe,” Zelensky said in the video. The President also said that he met with Ukrainian troops in Mykolaiv and Odessa.
They are confident and have no doubt that Ukraine will win the war.” Moscow says its main goal is to “liberate” Donbass, which includes the eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk and Lugansk provinces and has been the scene of separatist conflicts since 2014.
But Russian generals have already indicated their willingness to take the entire south of Ukraine and establish a land corridor to Transnistria, the pro-Russian rebel zone in Moldova.
