October 15, 2019 (UNIAN) President
of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during a visit to Donetsk region congratulated
Ukrainian military servicemen on Defenders Day. Addressing the troops, Zelensky
noted that "there were times when the whole country lived too
carelessly," Donbas News reports. According to the president, then it
seemed that the war was something very distant. "At that time, the state
either didn't care much, or at all, about its own army," he added. Zelensky
emphasized that in order to realize that “shortsightedness and naive childish
gullibility,” Ukraine pay a "too high a price", including the loss of
a part of territories and thousands of people.
The president explained that
meant the Russian annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas. Zelensky stressed
that Ukraine managed to "be reborn", "get on its feet, wipe off
the dust and say: 'You wish'." After addressing the military, Zelensky
presented a number of state awards.
