'For us, Ukraine is all of Ukraine. All 25 regions, without any concessions or compromises,' he said, in an address delivered in front of Kyiv’s central monument to independence from the Soviet Union.
'It doesn't matter to us what kind of army you have; what matters to us is our land. We will fight for it until the end,' Zelenskiy added.
Thousands of people have been killed since the war began on 24 February, with Ukraine acknowledging 9,000 military deaths, and there is little hope that an end to the fighting is in sight
