Ukrainian president to Tbilisi, other European cities: “All of you today are Ukrainians”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed citizens gathered at solidarity rallies for Ukraine across seven European cities, including Tbilisi, on Friday and told them “all of you today are Ukrainians.”

Zelensky expressed his gratitude for international support in his videolink address to the demonstrators, urging them not to be silent and continue supporting Ukraine’s efforts to fight against Russia’s ongoing military aggression.

If Ukraine does not stand, Europe will not stand. If we fall, you will fall. So, please don’t be silent,” he asked those present at the support rallies.

Zelensky also said he hoped Ukraine would win the war, noting it would be a “victory for the whole democratic world.”

Vilnius, Frankfurt, Tbilisi, Bratislava, Prague, Lyon, Paris - all of you today are Ukrainians, and thank you for this,” he added.
