“I want to address the citizens of Belarus today.

To people - both civilians and in uniform.

You are involved in a war.

And even more active than it was in February and in the spring months.

The Kremlin has already decided everything for you - your lives are worthless to them.

But you are not slaves and not cannon fodder.

You don’t have to die.

And you can't let anyone decide for you what awaits you next, ”Zielenski said in a video message.
