During his speech on July 4 Zelenskyy asked some Ukrainians to return to Ukraine: "I would like to invite some people whom I saw through the screen, I have not seen them all these months of the war, I would also like to invite them to Ukraine. Because we have restoration in Ukraine, restoration of our state. I just wanted to remind them of that. Because the war in Ukraine is where these people work. I think I hinted very subtly".

The anti-democratic and anti-European system built in Russia is trying to prove that it is supposedly stronger than all of us. and Ukraine, and Europe, and the democratic world". The President of the Swiss Confederation, Ignazio Cassis, said during his speech: "What unites us is the desire in this time of horror, devastation and grief to give Ukrainians the prospect of returning to an independent life, to peace and a bright future.
