POLICY
President of Ukraine
Handle by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the contributors of the Group of Seven summit
The world’s best democracies represented by you!
To start with, I want to thank Chancellor Scholz and the German presidency for the chance to deal with you as we speak. At this pressing summit.
At the moment is strictly one month for the reason that starting of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. Russia, which was current at this format along with superior democracies. Then the G7 was the G8. And there have been a number of hopes for its participation, for a dialogue with Russia. I need to emphasize that almost all of these hopes, in addition to the place subsequent to the Group of Seven, Russia acquired prematurely. And it nonetheless hasn’t deserved this advance.
However this and different related advances gave the Russian management the impression that they might get away with something. Lately, the Russian state has created so many crises and such instability that it has now grow to be a significant downside for the world. An issue that’s solely rising.
And also you and I nonetheless don’t know what number of extra such pressing summits should be held earlier than the issues created by Russia are resolved. Europe goes by means of a struggle, each day of which is stuffed with struggle crimes of Russian troops. This morning I acquired info that Russian troops had used phosphorus bombs in opposition to civilians in Ukraine.
The specter of large-scale use of chemical weapons by Russia on the territory of Ukraine is sort of actual. We’re looking for out the precise variety of deported Ukrainians. People who find themselves forcibly deported to Russia each day are disadvantaged of paperwork, technique of communication – the whole lot is taken away – and distributed amongst their areas. And even then Russia tries to mobilize them into its military!
It illegally abducts youngsters. In line with our knowledge, greater than two thousand already! Ukrainian cities – Mariupol, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Okhtyrka and different cities – appear to be a world disaster. They’re ruined. The roads from these cities, which individuals used to flee, resemble the set of a post-apocalyptic film with a whole bunch of burned and shot vehicles.
However it’s true: there’s a international disaster! Russia has destroyed the worldwide safety structure and dealt a robust blow to worldwide relations. However that is just the start. This struggle could also be adopted by a world meals disaster. The longer there isn’t a peace on Ukrainian land, the much less meals the world market will obtain from Ukraine. Consequently, many international locations in Asia, Africa, and even Europe, might have extraordinary issues with entry to primary merchandise, with meals costs. This may positively end in political destabilization. Possibly that is additionally the aim of the Russian management? I have no idea.
We should all act instantly! Instantly cease Russian troops, take away them from the territory of Ukraine. Peace is required instantly earlier than the world faces a good larger degree of issues. It’s higher now to tighten sanctions in opposition to Russia as a lot as essential to cease its army machine than to cope with the results of the meals and political safety international disaster. Unprecedented challenges!
If that’s the case, a full embargo on commerce with Russia is required. It’s essential to deprive Russia of the chance to make use of GPS in struggle. It is rather essential. In order that this method doesn’t assist Russian missiles and bombs destroy peaceable cities.
Russian banks and, most significantly, the Central Financial institution of Russia should get a whole blockade from the worldwide monetary system. Conflict criminals must be left with out cash in any respect! And their frozen belongings ought to flip, inter alia, into reparations for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
It’s higher to provide Ukraine the form of weaponry assist we actually want now than to search for weapons for different international locations later. We imply Georgia, Moldova, the Baltic States, Poland and Central Asia.
The earlier this occurs as we ask, the earlier there will probably be peace in Japanese Europe. That is in our greatest curiosity. That is in your greatest curiosity. That is within the pursuits of all democracies. As a result of democracies should be capable of defend themselves. Freedom should be armed. Life should overcome demise.
And I emphasize this: no advances to such a Russian state! By no means once more. Any steps in direction of it or in direction of every other violator of worldwide legislation ought to happen solely after their steps in direction of peace, in direction of universally acknowledged guidelines. And on the idea of a system of preventive deterrence.
I’m grateful to you for the unprecedented unity. To your resolute assist for peace for our nation, for our folks. I’m grateful to these of you who’re making an attempt a hundred percent to cease this struggle. I imagine we will do it. We can make your Group of Seven not simply the Nice Seven, however the Nice Seven of Peacekeepers. What do we want for this? Ukraine could be very particular in answering this query.
First – to accentuate sanctions in opposition to Russian aggression on a weekly foundation till it stops and restores peace for us.
Second – to participate within the creation of a brand new system of safety ensures for Ukraine, for our area. Actual ensures. Efficient. These that may cease any aggressor in 24 hours.
We provided to create an affiliation – U-24. That is what the world actually wants. Not simply to preventively cease the struggle or hostilities which have already begun. But in addition to supply help to the states that had been affected by the pure catastrophe, that should be supported throughout a pandemic, which are dealing with migration or meals crises.
The world wants new efficient alliances! New efficient ensures! This could assist growing democracies. This could assist the economies of nations the place there aren’t any steady establishments but.
And third – which instantly considerations our state and Japanese Europe. We should rebuild our state collectively as quickly as potential after the struggle. Rebuild cities. Restore financial life. Convey folks again.I give you to take part in such a undertaking. Restoration undertaking. I’m certain it will likely be in our frequent curiosity.
However first – weapons for Ukraine. First – enhance sanctions in opposition to Russia each week. That’s, peace comes first. We’ve the energy to do it. You could have the energy to do it. So, might there be peace! I’m grateful to everybody who helps us.
