We’re from Ukraine!

And today I call on my colleagues around the whole world to unite and to stop the criminal actions against a peaceful, independent European country!

There is no truth in russian propaganda, there are no excuses for military aggression, there are no excuses for russia's war against Ukraine. Everyday people, soldiers who defend their homeland, civilians, children die. Every day the future of our country, the future of the whole world destroys! Do not be silent, because silence today is an agreement with Putin's crimes.

Appeal to the Governments of your countries: let's close the sky, let's stop any cooperation with Russia; let's not allow man-made disasters!

Let's not be silent! Word is your weapon; condemnation of war is your weapon! We sincerely believe in your support! We feel your support! All will be Ukraine!
