Zelensky congratulated on Independence Day

"Whoever wants to sow evil on our land will reap its fruits on their own territory"

President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated citizens on Ukraine's Independence Day. The head of state published the corresponding congratulations in Telegram, Censor.NET reports.

"Ukrainians always repay their debts. And whoever wished misfortune on our country will receive it at home. With interest. Whoever wants to sow evil on our land will reap its fruits on their own territory. This is not a prophecy, not gloating, not blind revenge, this is a pattern. Justice. A boomerang for evil. And its launch began not far from the place where I am recording this address," the president said.

Zelensky noted that this video was recorded in the Sumy region near the border with the Russian Federation.

"Sumy region. Mogrytsia. The Psel River. A few kilometers from our border. The borders between Ukraine and captivity, between life and death. The borders between an independent European state and the number one terrorist organization in the world," he explained.

Zelensky recalled that Russia began its invasion of Ukraine 913 days ago. Despite this, Ukraine continues to exist as an independent state.

"But today we celebrate the 33rd Independence Day of Ukraine. And what the enemy brought to our land has now returned to his home. And whoever wanted to turn our lands into a buffer zone should think about how to prevent his country from becoming a buffer federation," the president emphasized.

He promised that Russia would be held accountable for attacks on Ukraine carried out from its territory.

"Our enemy will know what Ukrainian retaliation is. Decent, symmetrical, long-range. He will know that sooner or later a Ukrainian response will arrive at every point in the Russian Federation that is a source of danger to the life of our state and our people," the head of state emphasized.
