KIEV: On the one-month anniversary of Russia's invasion of Kiev on February 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for worldwide protests on Thursday.
"Russia's war is more than just a conflict with Ukraine. It has a much broader meaning... Russia began a war against freedom... This is only the beginning for Russia on Ukrainian soil "In his nightly video message, which he addressed in English for the first time, Zelensky added.
"Russia is attempting to destroy the freedom of all Europeans. Among all the people on the planet. "It seeks to demonstrate that only brute and harsh force is effective. It seeks to demonstrate that humans are unimportant... That is why we must all work together to stop Russia, as well as the rest of the globe. The world must put an end to the conflict. "It's been a month. That's a long time. It breaks my heart, the hearts of all Ukrainians, and the hearts of every free person on the face of the earth.
"That is why I implore you to oppose the war... Come in peace from your offices, homes, schools, and institutions to demonstrate your status... Come to support freedom and life in the name of Ukraine, with Ukrainian emblems. "Come to your streets and squares. Make your presence known and heard. Say that individuals are important, that freedom is important, and that peace is important. Ukraine is important " he added.
