President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine would continue to fight for its freedom.
He stated this in an address to the nation on its independence day.
“We need a just peace, a peace where our future will be decided only by us,” he said, adding that Ukraine was “not a victim, it is a fighter”.
The Ukrainian President however expressed concern that his call for peace is not being heard.
Zelensky’s remarks came after Moscow said Ukraine had attacked Russian power and energy facilities overnight, blaming drone attacks for a fire at a nuclear power plant in its western Kursk region.
