The president was disappointed with the support of “some countries” after Russia allowed itself to start a full-scale war.
It is difficult for President Volodymyr Zelensky to believe in the reliability of the support of” some countries or some leaders “ after Russia allowed itself to start a full-scale war. He stated this in an interview CNN .
The President was asked: “You lost your ancestors during the Holocaust. Every year on Holocaust Remembrance Day, politicians publish statements that say : “Never again. These statements must seem really empty to you. When the world says” Never again “, are these words at least a little sincere?”.
Zelensky replied: “I do not believe in the world. After seeing what is happening in Ukraine, I do not think we should trust some countries and leaders. We do not believe the words. After the escalation of Russia, we do not trust our neighbors. We do not believe in all this. “
Then the Ukrainian president said that he did not believe even in documented security guarantees and international law, because Ukraine is at war and Russia is accused of alleged war crimes, citing the Budapest Memorandum as an example of non-functioning documents.Read also: Zelensky on the unblocking of Mariupol: “Either partners will give Ukraine weapons, or – negotiations”
Zelensky said that his faith and beliefs lie in the practical, tangible efforts of the Ukrainian people.
“We just believe in pragmatic things. If you are our friends or partners, give us weapons, give us a hand, give us support, give us money and stop Russia, hit Russia. You can do that if you're a friend, “he said.
Zelensky stressed that he currently believes only in himself, the Ukrainian people, our Armed Forces and hopes that some countries will still move from words of support to action./span>
Previously Zelensky called a specific list of weapons needed by Ukraine to continue to protect the world from the spread of Russian aggression.
