(excerpt, edited for clarity)
Everyone who chooses the path of evil destroys himself. [Whoever] sends columns of [confused and deceived] troops to destroy the lives of another country... cannot stop them from fleeing and betraying when [the people] resist. [They invoke the strife of 1917 time and time again, but have nothing to offer other than their empty words]. [The man] who despises people and throws hundreds of thousands into war, [will] eventually [have to] barricade himself in the Moscow region from those whom he himself armed.
For a long time, Russia used propaganda to mask its weakness and the stupidity of its government. And now there is so much chaos that no lie can hide it.
Russia's weakness is obvious. Full-scale weakness. And the longer Russia keeps its troops and mercenaries on our land, the [greater] the chaos, suffering, and problems it will [bring] on itself later [on]. It is also [self evident] that Ukraine is able to [shield] Europe from the spread of [this] Russian evil and chaos.
We [will] keep our resilience, unity and strength. All our commanders, all our soldiers know what to do.
Glory to Ukraine!
