Newsday - Ukraine vows to shatter Putin’s reunification dreams - BBC Sounds

Ukraine's President has said that his country will fight Russia's invasion "until the end," and insisted he would not be making any concessions or compromise. Volodymyr Zelensky was speaking on the 31st anniversary of Ukraine's independence, an occasion which is being marked with less celebration than usual amid fears of an attack.

Serhiy Leshchenko is an Advisor of President Zelensky’s chief of staff and a former Member of Parliament. He told Newsday that President Vladimir Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union: “We don’t consider Russia as a country able to stop our independence anymore because we’ve shown the whole world that the Russian army is not so powerful…We expect this war will go on until Russians will leave our territory.”
