President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky once again appealed to European leaders to help stop Russia’s war, because this aggression affects everyone, and while Europe procrastinates, Ukrainian citizens are dying.
Direct speech: “German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said yesterday about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that Europe has not seen this for 75 years. And this is true. But this is not the whole truth.
This is not just Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, this is the beginning of the war against Europe. Against the unity of Europe. Against basic human rights in Europe. Against all the rules of coexistence on the continent. Against the fact that European states refuse to divide, it is to divide borders by force.
For the second day in a row, Ukrainian cities are under rocket and bomb attacks. Tank columns and air raids are as close as possible to what Europe has seen for a long time – during World War II. But here it is! There is again. Now. In 2022. 75 years after the end of World War II.
I’m sure you see it – all of you, all of Europe. But we do not fully see what you are going to do with it. How are you going to defend yourself when you are so slowly helping us in Ukraine?”
The President of Ukraine reminded that the so-called sectoral sanctions have already been imposed on Russia by the United States, Canada, Great Britain, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand.
But Russian tanks are still firing on homes in Ukrainian cities. Armored vehicles are still attacking, including civilians. Ordinary citizens of Ukraine.
