Russia has embarked on a path of evil, but Ukraine is defending itself & won’t give up its freedom no matter what Moscow thinks.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy after Russia launched what’s described as the largest attack on a European nation since WWII.
- The Ukrainian president tweeted out this message after the beginning of a Russian invasion.
- Multiple Ukrainian cities were reportedly targeted by Russia, including port cities such as Odessa.
- Why It Matters: At this time, Ukraine has no allies who will fight on Ukrainian soil. The true military goals of Russia remain TBD, while the risk to the Ukrainian people increases.
The tweet: Russia treacherously attacked our state in the morning, as Nazi Germany did in #2WW years. As of today, our countries are on different sides of world history. 🇷🇺 has embarked on a path of evil, but 🇺🇦 is defending itself & won’t give up its freedom no matter what Moscow thinks.
