Zelensky: Evening address of the President of Ukraine

All I understood from this was that he was kvetching about "MUH SANCTIONS" on Russia.
Machine translation: Exactly eight years ago, on June 26, Donetsk airport stopped working. On that day, probably no one foretold how the events in Donbas would unfold in the course of these years.

And then - in all of Ukraine after the full-scale invasion. But both that day, and on any day thereafter, and today, we can confidently say two things. The first. Ukraine will always be an independent state, and it cannot be broken. The only question is what price our people will have to pay for their freedom and Russia will have to pay for this heartless war against us. And another.

The catastrophic escalation of events could have been stopped if the world had regarded the situation in Ukraine as its own. If the powers that be did not fence it off with Russia, but actually exerted pressure for the termination of the war.
