Zelensky uses Independence Day speech to threaten 'retribution' against Russia
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has used his Independence Day speech to threaten “retribution" against Moscow, claiming that his forces are now taking the fight to Russia.
Zelensky published Saturday a video of him standing near the site where his troops launched an offensive into Russia on August 6 — two and a half years after Moscow launched its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Marking Ukraine’s 33rd anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union, he said, “What the enemy brought to our land has now returned to its home.” Zelensky said Russia will "know what retribution is.”
The Ukrainian leader also accused President Vladimir Putin of constantly threatening all with a nuclear war.
In the meantime, President Putin held a meeting with his army chief Valery Gerasimov to discuss "countering enemy forces invading the Kursk region and measures being taken to destroy them,” according to the Kremlin.
President Putin has pledged a decisive response to the first invasion of his country since World War II.
