<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Monday that he has authorized the release of prisoners with combat experience to help in his nation&#8217;s resistance against Russia&#8217;s invasion.</p>
<p>Zelensky shared the remarks during an address that called on &#8220;everyone&#8221; who could join &#8220;in the struggle for our state&#8221; to do so.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">⚡️Zelensky: Ukraine to release prisoners with combat experience.</p>
<p>Zelensky said it was a difficult moral choice but that it was necessary for the country’s defense. He said the the prisoners will be fighting in the hottest spots.</p>
<p>“The key is defense now.”</p>
<p>&mdash; The Kyiv Independent (@KyivIndependent) <a href="https://twitter.com/KyivIndependent/status/1498243206374379521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 28, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Ukrainians with real combat experience will be released from custody and will be able to compensate for their guilt in the hottest spots,&#8221; Zelensky said, according to The Kyiv Independent.</p>
<p>&#8220;All sanctions against some individuals who participated in the Anti-Terrorist Operation will be lifted. The key thing now is defense,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>Zelensky also argued that every shelling &#8220;unites us&#8221; even more.</p>
<p>&#8220;In every conversation with our partners I hear sincere respect. Ukraine has shown the world who we are, and Russia has shown what it has become,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Every crime, every shelling that the invaders commit against us unites us and our partners even more. Russia did not expect such a solid and powerful response, but the Ukrainians changed that story.&#8221;</p>
<div class="css-12zje5r">
<p>&#8220;Europeans are aware that our soldiers are fighting for our country, and, consequently, for the whole of Europe,&#8221; Ukraine&#8217;s president added.</p>
<p>Zelenksy has also called on Russian troops to stop fighting and abandon their equipment in defiance of Putin&#8217;s invasion.</p>
<p>&#8220;Abandon your equipment. Get out of here. Don&#8217;t believe your commanders. Don&#8217;t believe your propagandists. Just save your lives,&#8221; he said.</p>
</div>
<p>In addition, Zelensky has called for his nation&#8217;s immediate acceptance for membership into the European Union in response to Russia&#8217;s invasion.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine urged the EU to grant his country immediate membership of the bloc.</p>
<p>He also had a message for Russian troops in Ukraine: “Abandon your military equipment and leave,” he said. “Save your lives. Leave.”<a href="https://t.co/JGBMQM762D">https://t.co/JGBMQM762D</a> <a href="https://t.co/yZI2TmjuGw">pic.twitter.com/yZI2TmjuGw</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The New York Times (@nytimes) <a href="https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1498298385933164549?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 28, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Zelensky&#8217;s call for European Union membership repeated his request on Saturday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I say this as frankly as possible now: the people of Ukraine have already earned and have the right to receive membership in the European Union. This will be a key evidence of support for our country. The decisive moment has come to close the long-term strategic discussion once and for all and decide on Ukraine&#8217;s membership in the European Union. I discussed this with Charles Michel, Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron,&#8221; he said in an <a href="https://ua.interfax.com.ua/news/general/802541.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">address</a> on Saturday.</p>
<p>Monday&#8217;s urgent speech came shortly after a massive convoy of hundreds of Russian military vehicles was spotted on Sunday in satellite images that showed the vehicles moving toward the capital of Kyiv. The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/massive-convoy-of-hundreds-of-russian-military-vehicles-stretching-for-miles-spotted-heading-to-kyiv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“A long convoy is stretched out over more than three miles of road, consisting of hundreds of vehicles according to Maxar Technologies, which released the images,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/02/27/world/russia-ukraine-war">reported</a>. “The forces include infantry fighting and supply vehicles around 40 miles northwest of Kyiv.”</em></p>
<p><em>Russia launched a three-pronged attack into Ukraine, “toward Kyiv, the capital, from the north; toward Kharkiv, from the northeast; and fanning out from Crimea in the south,” the Times added.</em></p>
<p><em>The fighting has led to the deaths of hundreds of civilians, including dozens of children, and more than 300,000 Ukrainians have now <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/02/27/world/russia-ukraine-war">fled</a> to the European Union. The E.U. anticipates that it could see up to four million Ukrainian refugees.</em></p></blockquote>
