The Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom and the former Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny reported this during a speech at the Royal Institute of International Relations in London on October 17. "More than 30,000 people have already died. Hundreds of thousands were injured, but we continue to fight. This fact is probably a major proof that we are striving for Ukrainians to live in a civilized Western world," he said.
The ambassador added that China, North Korea and Iran united against Ukraine. They came to Russia in the war against Ukraine, not even knowing where it is. "Tell me if there is a secret today that China, North Korea and Iran united around Russia? Do anyone think they have united against Ukraine? If so, let me be the first to doubt. Most in These countries do not even know where Ukraine is located, ”Valery Zaluzhny said.
The diplomat emphasized that there are countries in the world that managed to withdraw from authoritarian empires and regimes. Some have joined the collective event, some continue their struggle for joining the civilized world, while maintaining the danger of losing their own independence, and Georgia, Belarus have already lost formal independence. Ukraine, as a result of the fierce resistance of Russia and its own indecision, was in the war for its own independence from the authoritarian empire.

We want to have a guarantee of our own safety for ourselves and our children," the former commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.
