00:00I think it's incredible that all of the predictions at the beginning of this conflict
00:05were that the aggressor Russia would succeed very quickly and they didn't
00:10because of the resilience of the Ukrainians, because you fought back and fought for your country
00:15and fought for all of us in fighting for your country.
00:19Now three years in, it's important that we all step up on defence and security.
00:23I want you to know that you are deeply inspirational to us,
00:26that we have huge admiration for your bravery, for your courage and for the sacrifice that you make.
00:32It is incredibly sobering to think that many of you have been to this place to train,
00:37you've been out to the battlefront, you've come back now as leaders to actually do more training
00:41and in a matter of days could be back at the front line again,
00:45actually fighting for freedom and the defence of your country
00:48and what is an incredibly unjust, illegal and immoral war started by Russia.
00:52And so I want you to know that you are heroes.
00:55President Zelensky is a hero and all Ukrainian citizens are heroes as well in our eyes.
