Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has declared that his country will never forget what its ancestors did in World War II amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

Zelensky said Ukraine would win in the ongoing conflict against Russia because they are fighting for their children’s freedom.

He said this in a video message he released as Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered his Victory Day speech in Moscow on Monday, according to CNN.
