"Fifty days of our defense is an achievement, an achievement by millions of Ukrainians,” Zelensky said in a message late on Thursday.
"Thank God, the armed forces of Ukraine and our people, we have defended most of our country," he added.
Zelensky also said in his video address that his country's Russian invaders "will be held responsible for everything they have done in Ukraine ... for everything they did to Ukrainians."
"They will be responsible for Bucha, Kramatorsk, Volnovakha, Okhtyrka; for Hostomel and Borodyanka; for Izyum, for Mariupol and all other cities and communities of Ukraine, which the Russian army pulled back to the period 80 years ago," he told the nation in his daily speech, as cited by the ukrinform.net website.
