Without Western support, the consequences of Russian aggression would be catastrophic
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that American and European aid saved thousands of Ukrainian lives and prevented millions of refugees since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion. The Head of State made this statement during his speech at the Berlin Security Conference. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Head of State noted that the constant expressions of gratitude directed at the United States are sincere and aimed at ensuring that the importance of Washington’s support is fully understood. According to him, without America’s involvement, civilian casualties would have increased by thousands, and millions of citizens would have been forced to seek shelter abroad as refugees.
At the same time, the Ukrainian leader emphasized the critical importance of European solidarity for the preservation of statehood. In particular, he noted the significant contribution of Germany and other European Union member states in repelling the aggression.
According to the President, the joint efforts of European partners made it possible to save a significantly larger number of Ukrainian settlements from destruction. The statement was made during a speech at the Berlin Security Conference, where further steps in supporting Ukraine were discussed.
