Zelensky on Independence Day: Russia has lost its refineries, fleet and a whole generation

On Ukraine's Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Russians directly, saying: "You wanted to take all of Ukraine, all our land, and instead you lost your refineries, your fleet, your revenues and a whole generation." He then called on allies to impose sanctions on Moscow that would make Russia "howl." The speech was delivered on Ukraine's national holiday.
