Zelensky addresses Ukrainians in Kyiv as Moscow airspace remains blocked
KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky released a video address for the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, recorded in selfie mode as he walked down Kyiv’s bustling central Khreschatyk street."This day reminds us of an important pattern: every evil inevitably comes to an end," he said walking to Kyiv’s Independence square.“On the morning of February 24 Khreschatyk was empty – no cars, no people.
