We need to maintain the principle in the confrontation of Russian aggression, joint actions are a true peacekeeping - a speech of the President of Ukraine at the annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly
In those months of 2013-2014, when Ukrainians on the squares and streets of our cities defended the right to a European choice for our country, an important thing was also for all our community with you-communities of peoples, which are united by values of freedom, respect for law, democracy and diversity. The Ukrainians filled with a powerful vital force that many began to seem only bureaucratic formality.
Ukrainians and all people in Europe, in America, in the world, who supported and support us, filled the flag of the European Union with new energy. And in fact, how we defend freedom in Ukraine, we have united both the European Union and NATO. We have shown a common challenge and proved the commonality of values.
Ladies and Gentlemen! Although Ukraine has not yet become a full part of the EU and NATO, I turn to you on behalf of the people who have always been, is and will be part of the value space that you all belong to. History bred us on different directions of ideological walls. But the walls have fallen, and all our values are preserved. And not only I, but also millions of our people and most of the citizens of your states support European and Euro -Atlantic integration of Ukraine.
Now that we protect our values with you not just in squares and streets, but on the battlefield in a full -scale war, it is absolutely obvious how unfair and unnatural was Ukraine's alienation from Europe. We will leave no percent of that alienation. I urge you to do everything on you so that our community of peoples - the peoples of values - has never become divided or weakened! You all see that we are threatening. All of us! Anyone who does not imagine his life without freedom.
You all see what a significant contribution to the protection of our community with you Ukraine makes. You all see how important what we have really united in defense after February 24. So, thanks to this, you also see that Ukraine should become a full member of the EU and NATO.
I urge you to support our EU and Alliance membership applications! Ukrainians do not just believe - Ukrainians are convinced that we can defend ourselves in this war and return the borders of the united Europe for the entire length of our eastern and southern border. Ukrainians do not just believe - Ukrainians know that the power of our democracy will be a guarantee that no tyranny to the east will be able to threaten Europe.
But in order to implement all these steps, to implement all this, we must use the full power of our community with you, all the potential of our cooperation in order to stop this terrorist Russian war step by step and return peace. That is why I offered the Ukrainian formula of peace. All points of our formula of peace are undoubted. Every nation in our community with you is interested in not having any dangerous incidents on nuclear objects.
We all want Russian terrorists to no longer take people's lives. Each of our countries requires guaranteed protection against any Russian missiles and from any sabotage against infrastructure. We are all interested in markets stability - energy, food and others. We all strive for international law to retain its power and actually act. Each of us considers fair to be guilty of war, deportations and any manifestations of genocidal policies.
We all want anywhere in Europe to have burned cities and ruins in Europe instead of a normal life. All this is provided by the Ukrainian formula of peace, which, without mistakes, can be called the European formula of peace and the world formula of peace, because it is built on respect and protection of universal values, on international law.
From nuclear safety to the restoration of our territorial integrity, from the tribunal on the crime of Russia's aggression against Ukraine to counteracting ecocide - in our formula everything is provided. Dear friends! I suggest you and your countries choose the point of the Peace Formula in which you can show your leadership. Joint actions are what is true peacekeeping.
In the meantime, we concentrate our forces to implement this formula, we must maintain one hundred percent of the principle in counteracting Russian aggression. Russia has relied on genocide policy and that is why it destroys our energy infrastructure. To kill electricity, water and heat supply in winter- which is the purpose of Russia is to put the lives of millions of people under the immediate threat. It is equivalent to the use of weapons of mass destruction - an absolute crime.
Therefore, it will be correct if you recognize Russia in your parliament - a sponsor of terrorism, as the parliaments of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and the Czech Republic did. It will be correct if your countries are constantly strengthening sanctions against Russia, which has become the complete opposite of our community with you and the most anti -European force in the world.
It is the constant strengthening of sanctions that will not allow the state-terrorist state to adapt and find new ways to ensure their terror. We need a new, ninth sanction package of the European Union, new sanctions of the world against Russia for terror - immediately after limiting export prices for Russian energy. It will be correct if we make it impossible for Russia to be a key terrorist plan and provide Ukraine with complete protection of the sky.
When Russian missiles, Iranian drones and any other terror tools will not be able to reach targets for them, Russia will have to do what we need with you, namely: to follow our formula of peace. We can provide it! But for this Ukraine needs to be provided with sufficient quantity and quality of air defense systems and about. Sufficient weight of defense and financial support. The terrorist state should see that it has no chance.
