We withstood: address by President of Ukraine on third day of war. VIDEO Source: https://censor.net/en/n3319390

Kyiv and key cities around the capital are controlled by our army.

As reported by Censor.NET.

I can start this address with good news. We withstood and successfully repel enemy attacks. The fighting continues. In many cities and districts of our state. But we know what we are defending. The country, the land, the future of children.

Kyiv and key cities around the capital are controlled by our army. The invaders wanted to block the center of our state and put their puppets here, as in Donetsk. We broke their plan. They did not gain any advantage over us.

On our streets, in the skies of Kyiv, in Vasylkiv, in Vyshhorod, even in the surrounding fields, a real battle for Kyiv took place. The enemy used everything against us: missiles, fighter aircraft, drones, artillery, armoured vehicles, saboteurs, paratroopers. The invaders are shelling residential neighborhoods, including with the use of missile artillery, trying to destroy energy facilities. They have very treacherous tactics.

Dwellings destroyed by missiles and artillery are the ultimate argument for the world to stop the occupation invasion together with us.

VIDEO Ukraine crisis: 'We are in control of Kyiv' - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Feb 26, 2022 1 hr ago

I say this as frankly as possible now: the people of Ukraine have already earned and have the right to become a member of the European Union. This will be the key evidence of our country's support.

It is a crucial moment to close the long-standing strategic discussion once and for all and to decide on Ukraine's membership in the European Union. I discussed this today with Charles Michel, Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron.

The anti-war coalition is operating - defense weapons and equipment are heading to Ukraine. We already have almost full support from EU countries for disconnecting Russia from SWIFT. I hope that Germany and Hungary will have the courage to support this decision. We have the courage to defend our homeland, to defend Europe.

In each of our cities, the invaders are being severely rebuffed. Uman, Odesa, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Donbas, Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kyiv - wherever the enemy kills our people, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are doing everything to stop and destroy the invaders. Lviv and other cities in western and central Ukraine that are under air attacks endure firmly. Well done!

Every Ukrainian needs to remember one thing. If you can stop and destroy the invaders, do it. All those who can return to Ukraine, come back to defend Ukraine. And then we will have a lot of work with you to rebuild it!

All those who can defend Ukraine abroad, do it purposefully, unitedly, continuously! All friends of Ukraine who want to join the defense - come, we will give you weapons! All the details of how to implement this will be announced in the near future.

Glory to all those who defend Ukraine today! You are heroes!

I adopted a decision to posthumously award the title of Hero of Ukraine to Vitaliy Volodymyrovych Skakun, a sapper of the 35th Separate Marine Brigade. At the cost of his own life, he blew up the bridge.

And now I want absolutely everyone in Russia to hear me. Thousands of victims. Hundreds of prisoners who simply cannot understand why they were sent to Ukraine. Sent to be killed. The sooner you tell your government that the war must be stopped immediately, the more of your people will remain alive.

We see that there are indeed protests by your citizens against the war. We know that many in Russia are now simply shocked by the meanness and cruelty of the authorities. This is a truly correct response. I thank you for this reaction. Thanks to Leonid Parfyonov, Dmitry Muratov, Yury Dud, Liya Akhedzhakova, Valery Meladze and thousands, thousands of other Russians whose conscience is heard loud. Just stop those who lie to you, lie to us, lie to the whole world. We need to end this war. We can live in peace - in global peace, in human peace.

Our military, national guards, national police, territorial defense, border guards, special services, citizens - hold on! We will defeat everyone.

Glory to Ukraine! Source: https://censor.net/en/n3319390

Women have been given medical care to wounded Russian soldiers. When asked why, they said these Russian are so very young.

Sounds like Zelensky thinks if you fight a war that should qualify your country for Nato and EU membership. I don’t think that’ll work but He’s been pressuring the EU for membership at every turn unsuccessfully thus far....and before this war. But who knows. The EU has made exceptions before.

I admire this Ukrainian president. Not many, if any, political leaders would face death for their country and constituents!

I also admire the compassion that the women of Ukraine are showing toward enemy soldiers captured.

No one in the rest of the world is attempting to stop this madman from pillaging. Shameful. At what point will the world act to stop him? After he moves into another country? Two countries? Three countries? After he murders 1000? 1 million? After he uses chemical weapons? A nuke?

They fight better than other members. A lot of countries in Nato would roll over and hope the USA would rescue them.

The former Soviet satellite countries should form their own organization. They cannot depend on Europe to help them.

It is amazing when you think about how they’ve held off the Russians so far.

The prevailing opinion of the “Freeper Arm Chair Generals” and the Putin lovers was Russia would wipe them out in a day or so.

And so, perhaps the Russians will prevail. I think they will, but they’re not 10 feet tall like so many love to think.

Bottom line, war really, really sucks. But it is worth defending your country even in the face of overwhelming odds.

Ukrainians don’t deserve this. Their country did nothing wrong to the Russians.

‘I need ammunition, NOT a ride!’ President Zelensky

Zelensky told Biden for offering to evacuate him from Kyiv and drinks tea with his soldiers after saying the ‘fate of Ukraine’ was being decided during overnight battle

‘The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,’ according to a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation

Invading Russian forces closed in on Kyiv on Saturday, in an apparent encircling movement after a barrage of airstrikes on cities and military bases

Listening to a Ukrainian Parliament member who claims she is part of the ‘Resistance’, and she sounds a lot like the “Hunger Games” Mockingjay...Putin still hasn’t leveled the cities, like is the norm, possibly because he is still worried about his ‘image’. His true nature is coming out, though, and once he does level the city, will the rest of Europe (and Brandon), stop the slaughter? Putin is not worried about US or NATO ground troops, but based on what we are seeing Russia’s Air Force do, they should be afraid of US Airpower.

I wonder if Vlad has called Zelenskyy “That F**king Jew” yet.

This is a very complicated situation. Ask yourself if the Russian army has not entered even one major Ukrainian city its because they don’t want to.

Zelensky made an address yesterday saying that he was the number 1 Russian target and his family was target number 2. Putin is not out to kill Zelensky’s wife and kids. Probably not him either unless he keeps blathering about joining the EU.

My understanding is that Russian special forces have been given a deck of cards of specific cabal individuals that need to be taken out as well as the 6 US bio weapons labs that I was outraged to learn we had operating in the Ukraine. Those are now gone and Bill Gates will have to look elsewhere for his next pandemic.

Whether this is true or not I am not sure but there are reports on alternative media that the so called taking of the Chernobyl reactor is actually a capture of a huge child trafficking ring.

It appears that the Russians are mainly targeting military bases and international operations. i.e. NWO cabal.

Yeah...there’s a lot of globalist cheerleading happening on FR threads. Bottom line: There’s no reason Russia should have to accept a country (on their border) joining a foreign military alliance. It would be like Mexico joining the old Warsaw Pact. It’s an unnecessary and provocative move by globalist low-lifes.

The press is now reporting heavy fighting last night and this morning early in Kiev. I was watching Kiev live cams early last evening and again at midnight which was sun up in Kiev. Nothing was happening. Quiet as a mouse.

Then I see footage of 5-6 burning Russian tanks near Chernobyl. The Russians haven’t used T72’s in 20 years.

Mr. GG2 saw 6 different videos of a dead Russian soldier. Same body in each video.

The globalist press is hard at work wagging the dog.

What is really happening is that the Russian army isn’t entering any of the major cities because they don’t want to or else they would be there. Their mission is to take out the NWO cabal in the Ukraine and that’s what they are doing. When they are finished likely Putin will make an agreement with Zelensky and then go home.
