            <news:title>Zelenskyy: All of this clearly demonstrates that there was no attempt by the Russian side to even simulate a ceasefire on the frontline. As with the results of the previous day, Ukraine will respond symmetrically today. We will defend our positions and protect people's lives. Russia must end its war, and everyone will truly notice this when the movement towards peace begins. </news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskky: Today is the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism. The day when all of Europe celebrates the end of the most terrible war of the 20th century - a war after which there should have been only true peace. This is exactly what was dreamed of when the guns of World War II began to fall silent. That war turned our land into a field of cruel battles, humiliation in the occupied territory, mass destruction of people and life. </news:title>
