烏克蘭總統澤連斯基（Volodymyr Zelensky）於當地時間24日凌晨於臉書發表談話影片，以俄語進行，明顯是向俄羅斯人民喊話。

其中幾段讓我感觸特別深：

「你們被告知我們是納粹，一個曾為對抗納粹主義而犧牲800萬條人命的國家，怎麼可能支持納粹？我怎麼可能是納粹份子（澤連斯基是猶太人）？去跟我爺爺講講看。整個（二戰）戰爭期間，他都在蘇聯軍隊的步兵部隊中服役，以上校軍階在獨立後的烏克蘭去世。」

“You are told we are Nazis. But can a people support Nazis that gave more than eight million lives for the victory over Nazism? How can I be a Nazi? Tell my grandpa, who went through the whole war in the infantry of the Soviet Army and died as a colonel in independent Ukraine.”

「你們被告知我們仇恨俄羅斯文化？怎麼可能有人對文化仇恨？仳鄰的國家會豐富彼此的文化，但那並不表示它們是同一個國家，也不會讓我們融入你們。我們是不同的，但那不該是我們彼此為敵的原因。我們要決定我們自己的歷史，和平地，寧靜地，貼近真實地。」

“You are told that we hate Russian culture. But can a culture be hated? Any culture? Neighbors are always enriching each other culturally, but that does not make them one, does not dissolve us in you. We are different, but that is not a reason to be enemies. We want to build our own history. Peacefully. Calmly. Truthfully.”

「你們被告知我下令攻擊Donbas，毫無疑問地射擊、轟炸，但問題是，到底要射擊誰？要轟炸什麼？

Donetsk？我去過數十次的地方？我看過他們的臉，他們的雙眼。

Artema？那個我和友人曾經散步的地方？

Donbass 體育場？在歐洲盃我曾經跟當地人一起為我們的男孩加油的地方？

Shcherbakova公園？那個在球隊輸掉後我們一起喝酒的地方？ Lugansk？我最好的朋友的母親的家鄉、父親埋葬的地方？

請注意我現在使用的是俄語，但是在俄羅斯的人並不明白這些名字、街道、和事件的意義。對你們來說，這些都是外國的，是你們不知道的。這是我們的土地，我們的歷史。」

“You are told that I am ordering to attack Donbas. To shoot. To bomb without question. Although there are questions: to shoot who? To bomb what? Donetsk? Where I have been dozens of times? I have seen their faces and eyes. Artema? Where I’ve walked with friends before? Donbass Arena? Where I have rooted with the locals for our boys during the Euros? Shcherbakova Park? Where we drank together after our team lost? Lugansk? The home of my best friend’s mom? The place where his father is buried?

Note that I am now speaking in Russian, yet no one in Russia understands what these names, streets, and events mean. This is all foreign to you. Unknown. This is our land. This is our history.”
