In a message to mark Ukraine’s Constitution Day on Tuesday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian sovereignty “extends to the entire territory.”
“We defend Ukraine, which is a sovereign, independent, democratic, social and legal state,” he said.
“God is on our side and says that defending your home from evil is not a sin. It is a sin not to defend it.”
Zelensky said Ukraine is a “unitary state” and “our territory within the existing borders is integral and inviolable.”
