Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy bid farewell to graduates of the Lviv and Odessa military academies on Wednesday. “This is a special mission – to receive military training now and to know that tomorrow this training will be needed directly on the battlefield to defend the state and to lead soldiers and units,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. No information was given about the number of young officers.
He was pleased that there was no shortage of people who really wanted to become an officer at military higher education institutions in Ukraine. Namely those “who want to make the story of the Ukrainian victory in this war their own life story,” Zelenskyy said. “I wished the graduates of our military academies victory, and I am confident that this victory will come.” On February 24, Russia invaded the neighboring country.
