The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, emphasizes that neutrality cannot be maintained in the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, because the lack of aid to our state means the strengthening of the Russian Federation, which will then threaten other countries.
“You help Ukraine or Russia. There will be no mediators in this war. By weakening aid to Ukraine, you will strengthen Russia. And powerful Russia and what to expect from it… I think history in books and witnesses has answered this a long time ago. If someone wants to take a risk, fine, reduce aid to Ukrainians. But, if we are frank and honest, we have to fight for freedom, for democracy, for people’s rights,” said the Head of State, answering journalists’ questions after meeting with Justin Trudeau in Ottawa.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi expressed his gratitude to the partner countries that help Ukraine with weapons and funding.
“But this is not the biggest price. After all, Ukraine is paying the highest price for this today – in people, in the number of deaths. Therefore, we are very grateful for the help,” the President emphasized.
