TOR 5 QUOTE
- Volodymyr Zelenskyi, President of Ukraine: “Ukrainians know well what they are fighting for. For people who are loved and who inspire. Behind the city and the village is a real place of strength. For values worth choosing over the enemy. For the opportunity to live in our own home and be the owner of our land, to build the future – the one we want. For what faith gives to do, it would seem impossible.”
- Dmytro Kuleba, Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: “Russia no longer hopes for “useful idiots” in the West or the weak position of some European politicians. With its false claims of “anti-colonialism” and “new centers of power”, the way is trying to find a foothold in Africa, Asia and Latin America… No allies, no contracts and no money for the Russian killers. No peaceful place on the planet. We will take care of it”
- Arvydas Anusauskas, Minister of Defense of Lithuania: “Negotiations and formal procedures regarding the admission of Ukraine to the alliance should begin now, despite the war. The most important thing is not the simplified procedures for admission to NATO, which were applied to Sweden and Finland, but the consensus of 30 countries later on that this country (Ukraine, ed.) can be admitted to NATO. The process itself must begin regardless of the war. Security guarantees for Ukraine should be increased now.”
- Marko Mikhelson, Chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee of the Estonian Parliament: “If today we know that this is the territory of Russia, then we recognize that the current world order has come to an end and that international law no longer has any role in international relations. All currently occupied territories are definitely part of Ukraine and will remain so. This means that Ukraine must liberate this territory with our help.”
- David Petraeus, former director of the CIA: “Putin will lose despite significant but desperate steps. President Zelenskyi and Ukraine mobilized much better than Russia. Ukraine recruited, trained, equipped, organized and produced troops incomparably better than Russia. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has driven himself into an impasse in Ukraine, from which there are no desperate steps left, including nuclear threats.
