This is a brief paraphrase of the statement made by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on July 2. The meaning and context are fully preserved, but some parts of his speech may have been edited or swapped.
Russia will receive a response for today's attack on Kyiv. We are for a just peace, a fair end to the war. In the meantime, he’s gone - for a fair answer. Only the “island of Moscow,” and not Crimea, will force Putin to end the war. All his stories about how he knows Crimea, loves it, and needs it are lies. Like the east of our state, he knows it only from the reports of his officers. Putin needs to sell his public a big victory to shore up support within Russia. He has elections in September, he needs a united society that will support his United Russia. Putin needs to show his muscles, but he has no muscles on the battlefield. Therefore, due to the lack of real success, he resorts to intimidating Ukraine with massive strikes. There is no victory. There will be no victory.
