Ukraine will return its cities and villages temporarily occupied by enemy – Zelensky

Ukraine will definitely return its cities and villages temporarily occupied by Russian forces.  

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his address on the occasion of the first anniversary of the liberation of Kherson from Russian occupation, Ukrinform reports, referring to the president’s website.

“Today marks the first anniversary of the liberation of Kherson from Russian occupation. The city-hero. The city-symbol. The city of hope. The city of our people who did not surrender to the enemy force and inspired everyone around us and the whole world with their resistance. These are our blue and yellow flags, which repeatedly proved on the streets of Kherson and in many homes and apartments that Ukraine is one, from the northern border to our sea. These are months without communication, without information, but with faith – faith in Ukraine,” Zelensky said.

He stressed that Ukraine does not forget about its cities and villages that are currently occupied by the enemy.

“The entire south of Ukraine learned last year that Russia never comes ‘forever’, no matter how many times they repeat it. Because Ukraine always returns – always! When we know our goal. When it's a shared goal. When we are united. And when we unite others around the Ukrainian goal,” the Head of State said.

Zelensky thanked everyone who is currently working in Kherson to protect people, all who are fighting on the left bank of Kherson region for the sake of Ukraine, and all who defend Ukrainian lives.

As reported, the city of Kherson was liberated from the Russian invaders on November 11, 2022.
