President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that it is impossible to remain neutral in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and anyone who does not help Ukraine is indirectly aiding Russia. He made this statement during a briefing during his visit to Canada.
“You are either helping Ukraine or Russia. There will be no intermediaries in this war. By weakening aid to Ukraine, you are strengthening Russia. And a powerful Russia and what to expect from it… I think history in books and witnesses has long answered this. If someone wants to take the risk – fine, weaken the assistance to the Ukrainians. But, to be frank and honest, one must fight for freedom, for democracy, for human rights,” – quoted by the President’s Office press service.
He said that Ukraine is grateful to its partners who help with weapons and money, but “this is not the highest price.”
“The highest price, after all, is paid today by Ukraine – with people, with the number of deaths,” Zelensky said.
