Photo: Tracey Nearmy/ANU - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reflected on the heroism and atrocities of the war in his country and urged young people to use social media to help "show the truth", during an address to university students hosted by The Australian National University (ANU). President Zelenskyy addressed the ANU community in a sold-out event at Llewellyn Hall on Wednesday 3 August, speaking via video link from Ukraine. Thousands of people watched the event, which was broadcast online and to 20 Australian universities around the country. He called for people to continue to help Ukraine by "standing for the truth and debunking the myth so masterfully and so skillfully fabricated by [the] Russian propaganda machine". "We personally know that the enemy has come to our land, but in different corners of the globe, which are far from Ukraine, they spread.. information or policy that they haven't invaded anyone and that works, unfortunately.
