Yesterday evening Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held talks with the President of France Emmanuel Macron and Poland Andrzej Duda. Zelenskyy mentioned it during his address.
“I am immensely grateful to each of them. I am immensely grateful to Andrzej for his determination and devotion to our common cause of protecting people. I am grateful to Andrzej’s wife, Agata. Friends, whom I truly consider real friends, and sincerely wish such friends to everyone. We managed to prevent a humanitarian crisis on the border. We managed to organize the situation so that thousands of Ukrainian women and children are treated with dignity. Nobody asks them about their nationality. About their religion. How much money they have. Basically, we do not have a border with friendly Poland anymore. Because we are together on the side of good. We do not have time for borders,” the President said.
According to him, the authorities in Ukraine are already thinking about how Ukraine will be rebuilding after the war.
"I am sure that soon we will be able to tell our people: come back! Come back from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and other friendly countries. Come back because there is no more threat. We are already thinking about the future. For all the Ukrainians. After the war. About how to revitalize our cities. How to rebuild the economy. I talked with the president of the World Bank, David Malpass, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva,” said the President.
According to him, there is a common understanding among the largest financial institutions about supporting Ukraine. There is a decision on emergency aid and tens of billions of dollars to rebuild Ukraine after the war.
“And these are just the first decisions. I emphasize this - only the first decisions. I spoke with Turkish President Erdogan. I talked to the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. With the President of the European Council Charles Michel and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. The main topic is EU membership for Ukraine.
I am grateful to Europeans - hundreds of thousands of people in different cities of our continent. Bratislava, Vilnius, Frankfurt, Lyon, Paris, Tbilisi, Prague. They came out in support of Ukraine yesterday. In support of Europe. They came out for peace. As soon as possible," Zelenskyy said.
He also expressed gratitude to the Americans, who are supporting Ukrainians who are demanding stricter sanctions against Ukraine and supporting the closing of the sky.
“74% of the Americans are for the no-fly zone. 74! An absolute majority. What else is needed to make the decision? We are sure that the result is similar in other democratic countries,” the President summarized.
