TOR 5 QUOTE
- Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of the VRU: “We all understand that Russian society is terminally ill, and the carriers of the “Russian measure” virus must be urgently sent to long-term isolation in the quarantine zone called “Russia”. And this will not only ensure the depth of everyone from the further spread of the Russian propaganda controversy, which sows enmity and discord, but will also give Russians a unique opportunity to rethink the philosophy of their views on life.”
- Denys Monastyrskyi, Minister of Internal Affairs: “Currently, we can absolutely responsibly state that there is no adequate control at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Today, it is actually not just in the hands of the enemy, but also in the hands of uneducated specialists who can really allow a tragedy. All this is assessed as the highest level of threat.”
- Hanno Pevkur, Minister of Defense of Estonia: “We must not forget that the decision to support Ukraine also strengthens our own security today, deprives Russia of the opportunity to act unpredictably in our regions. Today has come a turning point in the war.”
- German Galushchenko, Minister of Energy: “Thankful to the member countries of the UN Security Council, to all those who supported Ukraine in its attempt to return the sovereign right to the ZNPP, that Russia’s next plan – this time regarding the legitimization of its troops at the Ukrainian nuclear plant – failed. Such a Russian display of contempt for common sense and a superior attitude towards the members of the UN Security Council will be a driver for faster decision-making regarding the EU, the IAEA and the UN on the ZNPP for its de-occupation and ensuring the world’s nuclear security.”
- Pavlo Klimkin, ex-minister of foreign affairs: “The discussion about banning the issuance of Schengen visas to Russian citizens is based on incorrect arguments. It’s not just about punishing to support aggression. It should be explained to Europeans that Russians in the EU are a threat. Those who blew up weapons warehouses in the Czech Republic or poisoned the Skripals also entered the EU on tourist visas, and now there will be dozens and several times more of them. Only in this way can it be explained once and, I hope, forever.”
