東洋大学で、オンラインでゼレンスキーが
日本の大学の若者にスピーチを
行った。
日本の平和な日常とウクライーナ
の現在の惨状とを比較して、
日本の若者が当たり前に享受して
いる平和が奇蹟であることを
切々と訴えていた。
東洋大学のホームページには、
「ゼレンスキー大統領は、戦争と平和についてお話しされ、
「ウクライナは平和のために戦っている。
みなさん、平和を守ってください」と日本の学生に理解と支援を求めました。」
と紹介されているが、これでは、凡庸すぎる。
切迫感もないし、
対ロシアへの非難にもなっていない。
是非ウクライーナ語のスピーチを
全訳して、ホームページに載せてもらいたいものだ。
ウクライーナのメディアでは、以下のようになっている。
"So that the miracle became a reality." Zelensky told Japanese students about the war 15:3304. 07. 2022 In the war with Russia, our country defends its own land, its sovereignty and territory, and seeks peace. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyi in his speech before the Japanese university community. "For more than four months, you have been seeing, hearing and reading news with the headlines 'War in Ukraine.' Over time, such a reduction can distort the global picture of events and the essence of things, everyone's perception of what is happening in Ukraine. It can replace the truth. This is a war in Ukraine, which the Russian Federation started, which the Russian Federation continues, and which the Russian Federation does not want to stop. Ukraine defends its own land, its sovereignty, its territory. Ukraine is fighting for peace. This is such a cruel paradox of the 21st century, and for us these are realities," said the Ukrainian president. Zelensky emphasized that we cannot lay down our arms, because otherwise we will disappear – as a state, as a people, simply as people. "Russia has chosen the path of war, Ukraine is fighting on the way to peace. Russia is shooting for destruction, Ukraine - for survival. War is a national idea of the Russian Federation. The national idea of Ukraine is peace. And today I want to talk to you about exactly that, exactly about peace, not about war. For you, Japanese youth, war is something from books, movies, computer games. It is normal for you that Japanese soldiers do not die defending their own land, do not kill and do not encroach on other lands. Look around. What seems so simple and familiar to you is actually a huge blessing. The sky is free of missiles and bombs, houses and buildings are not destroyed and not broken and loved ones, and simply all your fellow citizens are not injured and alive. All this is a great blessing. And even more. For us today, all this is a miracle. With weapons in hand, we defend ourselves so that this miracle becomes a reality for us again. So simple and natural for human civilization. A normal state of affairs for a normal society and a normal country. It is not something incredible, fantastic or supernatural. It's just peace," said the leader of the Ukrainian state. According to Zelenskyi, the reason for the struggle and the goal of victory is peace, for the sake of the future. "The main goal of Ukraine is peace. A world that is familiar to you. Which was familiar to us as well, but everything changed in 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and started hostilities in the east of Ukraine. And on February 24, 2022, when, in addition to the east, the aggression of the Russian Federation spread to the south, north, center, and west, when a full-scale war, like a tsunami, covered the whole of Ukraine. Peace. What was the norm has become a memory. What is the norm for you and remains the present. And what, I believe, will be the future for you and me," he said. We will remind you that earlier the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the main task of the state is to provide Ukrainian soldiers with the most modern weapons. The guarantor of the state said that every day he conducts negotiations on the supply of new and modern weapons for the defense of our country, stressing that this is the main task of the state. Zelensky also predicted that due to the war against Ukraine, Russia will face the biggest crisis in the last 50 years.
