President Zelenskyy: “Today, there’s a lot of talk in the media about us receiving permission for respective actions. But strikes are not carried out with words. Such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves.”

  1. ***Dear Ukrainians!***

    *Today marked one of the largest and most dangerous Russian attacks in the entire war. Two hundred and ten drones and missiles launched simultaneously – including hypersonic and aeroballistic ones. Fortunately, most of the targets were intercepted. Russia aimed for energy and critical infrastructure. And this is the answer to all those who wanted to achieve something with Putin through conversations, phone calls, hugs – appeasement. Today, this “dove of peace” sent us yet another barrage of “Kinzhal” and “Kalibr” missiles. That’s his diplomacy. His language is treachery. For nearly a thousand days now, Russia has been doing the same thing. And we must defend ourselves against it. We need to be strong. Time should be invested not in talking to someone in Moscow, but in really forcing Russia to end the war. I am grateful to all our air defense forces, the Air Force, mobile fire groups, and everyone who makes it possible for Ukraine to shoot down all this Russian evil. Once again, Patriot systems performed brilliantly today. The F16s also showed their worth intercepting missiles. Special thanks to all our partners who help us with air defense systems and missiles. This is truly a global effort. Every time such Russian strikes take place, we see how important it is that our partners do not leave Patriots and other systems in warehouses somewhere, but transfer them to exactly those people who can protect lives and need them. We still haven’t received all the systems we need from our partners. But we’re continuing to work on that. Once we have what’s needed, repelling these attacks will be even more comprehensive. Restoration work is underway in four regions. This morning, over a million households were without electricity. That number is now significantly lower. Thank you to all the repair crews. The work will continue around the clock. Unfortunately, today’s Russian attack caused injuries in the Lviv region, in Kyiv, in the Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Everyone has received the necessary assistance. Tragically, there are also fatalities. My condolences to all the families and loved ones.*

    *We will definitely respond to the occupier. And we must withstand the pressure now. Any pressure. Any strikes. So that next year, we can achieve our goal. So that we achieve peace.*

    *And one more thing.*

    *The plan to strengthen Ukraine is the Victory Plan, which I presented to our partners. One of its key points is long-range capabilities for our army. Today, there’s a lot of talk in the media about us receiving permission for respective actions. But strikes are not carried out with words. Such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves. They certainly will.*

    ***Glory to Ukraine!***

  2. You can say he is not perfect, but man, as an European, I am so glad Ukraine have this guy leading their country. Western democracies should try to listen to what he says.

  4. This man embodies what Europe stands for. Not everyone will agree with everything he says but god damn he’s a fucking fine war leader.

  5. It certainly looks like the Allies have finally got their heads out of the sand ( or as I prefer, finally got some balls). It will be a welcomed addition to strike deeper into the terrorist nation of RuZZia and eliminate the infrastructure and weapons of the vile leader. It’s about time.

  6. I wish a country would just give him some long range missiles with no conditions and just say have at it. Maybe SK can do that now that NK has started helping Russia.

    On a side note, I know this is not a funny speech by any means, but the closed captioning provided were a bit funny (the ones if you click the ‘cc’ button and have it in English.

    “I’m not sure what I’m saying, but I’m not saying that I’m saying that I’m saying that I’m saying that I’m saying that I’m saying……..”

  7. >Missiles will speak for themselves.”

    Zelenskyy often reminds me of Churchill in WWII, but also reminds me of the 1690 quote from [**Governor Frontenac**](https://grizly.com/question/in-refusing-to-surrender-quebec-who-said-to-the-english-my-only-reply-will-be-from-the-mouths-of-my-cannons) in Quebec when the British were demanding the surrender of the City. Frontenac told the British envoy :

    “My only reply will be from the mouths of my cannons!”.

    And Frontenac fought off the British and won the battle, It took almost 70 years for the British to try to invade Canada again in 1759.

  8. Happy for this guy to run Australia’s department of defence if he ever needs a place to be.

  10. I never thought I could admire and respect a president from another country, as much as I do this man. I only wish our world leaders were like him. It’s truly an honour to see such class, determination and love that this leader has for his country.

  11. A wise man in a nation of wise men and women. Let the missiles speak, yes, to the invasion of a sovereign nation and the escalation of adding N Korea to the fray.

  15. Man is the next napoleon of the modern era, i wouldn’t be surprised if Ukraine surpasses all of Europe in our lifetime

  17. I can’t wait to see US and EU missiles strike military targets in the heart of Russia.

  18. Dude is fighting agianst 4 dictators: Putin, Xi, Kim, and trump

  20. I do not understand why everything has to be announced so publicly. Let Russia find out.

  21. They need to get as much of that done as possible in the next two months imo

  22. This man’s energy is relentless, bomb the fuck outta them. I can’t wait to see how they feel once they have nowhere safe to hide. Now how long until we see Ukraine mini nuke Moscow?

  24. I hope it finally clues in to people that putin obviously isn’t interested in peace.

  28. Once those missiles start hitting Moscow, and they start tasting their own medicine how long will Putin last?

  30. >But strikes are not carried out with words. Such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves.”

    Putin is not a man of his words, words mean nothing to him. Everyone of us knows this, every politicians should know this. Aggressive dictators can only be replied to by aggressive responses, that is the only language they know.

  32. What does this mean? He doesn’t have any missiles to fire?

    Or that it’s gonna be a tough few nights in Russia?

  33. Sounds like Biden and the UK said “hit anywhere inside Russia with anything you want”.

    This probably also secretly means NATO aircraft are going to be inside Ukraine, flying to the eastern border sending cruise missiles inside Russia.
