Zelenskyy congratulated the U.S. on Independence Day and thanked Trump for his support of Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated the United States on the 250th anniversary of its independence. In his address, he emphasized the role of the U.S. in supporting Ukraine and specifically thanked President Donald Trump for the military aid provided—ranging from Javelin systems to Patriot systems.

“We greatly appreciate the support of the United States, especially now, during Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. American weapons—from the ‘Javelins’ that President Trump decided to provide to Ukraine to the ‘Patriots,’ which most reliably protect the lives of our people— — everything the United States has provided to help us defend our country demonstrates the strength of the American spirit, American resolve, and American technology,” he wrote.
 

He noted that Ukraine is fighting for its independence, freedom, and the right to happiness for its people “with essentially the same hopes, the same purpose, and the same energy with which Americans won and defended their independence.”


“When we turn to America for ‘patriots,’ we believe that the values of respect for life and people—which worked 250 years ago—will work now as well. The world needs leadership that guarantees the protection of freedom and life,” Zelenskyy wrote.


This is stated in Zelenskyy’s message, published on social media.
