Zelenskyy describes Kursk offensive as 'boomerang' for evil on Ukrainian Independence Day
Saturday, 24 August 2024 President Volodomyr Zelenskyy has given an impassioned speech to mark 33 years since Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union - as it continues its offensive inside Russia.
In a speech to mark Independence Day in the capital Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed his country's resolve to regain its "territorial integrity".
Russian forces launched a brutal offensive in Kursk, resulting in the deaths of 290 Ukrainian soldiers. The deadly assault also saw 18 Ukrainians captured alive in Kurakhove. The attack marked one of the most devastating losses for Ukraine in recent days, as Russian forces intensify their military operations in the region. The captured soldiers were taken into custody as part of the Russian military's ongoing campaign to Ukrainian defenses. This violent escalation highlights the ongoing severity of the conflict as both sides engage in fierce battles for territorial control.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed regret over his country’s decision to relinquish its nuclear weapons in an interview, stating that Ukraine's lack of nuclear deterrence has left it vulnerable. Zelensky criticized the U.S., the U.K., and other security guarantors for failing to uphold their promises under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which assured Ukraine’s security in exchange for giving up its nuclear arsenal. He used strong language to express his frustration, stating that the guarantors "didn’t give a f**k" about Ukraine's sovereignty or security. Zelensky further reflected on the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Ukraine inherited a significant nuclear stockpile, only to give it up in exchange for security assurances that, according to him, were never honored. He emphasized that if Ukraine had retained its nuclear capabilities, it would have been in a stronger position to deter Russia's aggression.
