‘Churchillian’ Volodymyr Zelensky returns from US trip vowing Ukraine will ‘never surrender’

The Telegraph  

He went on to refer to the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, and the Battle of Saratoga where the Americans turned the tide against the British during the War of Independence in 1777. Mr Zelensky said: "Just like the brave American soldiers, which held their lines and fought back Hitler's forces during the Christmas of 1944, brave Ukrainian soldiers are doing the same to Putin's forces this Christmas. The war in Ukraine would “define what type of world our children and grandchildren live in”, he added, saying that America’s support was crucial “not just to stand but to get to the turning point to win on the battlefield”. For the Russians to completely pull out, more cannons and shells are needed.” Mr Zelensky also said the backing of Russia’s “genocidal policy” with Iranian drones showed how “one terrorist has found another”. We must do it.” Mr Zelensky said that even if there was no electricity, Ukrainians would celebrate Christmas and “the light of our faith in ourselves will not be put out”.
