Two quotations by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in
the early stage of the Ukraine/Russia conflict in February 2022.
1. "I'm here. We won't lay down our arms. We will
defend our country." - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
A few days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a
"special military operation" in Ukraine. Subsequently Russian
soldiers entered Ukraine and surrounded Kyiv. There were rumors that Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had escaped from Kyiv. In response Zelenskyy in
person said on 26th February 2022 in a short video addressed to Ukrainians that
"we will defend our country”; "there's a lot of fake information
online that I call on our army to lay down arms, and that there's evacuation".
Zelenskyy then said "I'm here. We won't lay down our arms. We will defend
our country."
2. "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a
ride." - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Despite Russian forces moving closer to the center of Kyiv,
Zelenskyy declined an offer from the United States to be evacuated from the
city. He said that "the fight is here; I need ammunition, not a
ride", according to the Associated Press who spoke with a senior
intelligence official.
