By KYIV. Nov 18 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The more joint efforts, the faster it will be possible to force Russia to withdraw from the territory of Ukraine and fulfill its obligations to the whole world, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in an address to students in Ireland.
In his address, the head of state recalled that following the results of the G20 summit, which took place in Indonesia on November 15-16, the participants agreed on a joint declaration of 52 points. At the same time, he noted that Russia formally supported the document.
"Formally, Russia also supported the declaration, but in reality it violates most of the principles contained in it. And some of the painful global problems that the G20 is trying to solve are deliberately created by Russia," the president said and cited several excerpts from the declaration, which Russia had already violated waging war in Ukraine.
In particular, this concerns Russia’s disregard for international law and a system that guarantees peace and stability on the planet, violations of measures to promote energy stability by attacking the Ukrainian energy and gas production system, destroying hospitals and obstructing access to medicine in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, etc.
"And so on all 52 points of the Bali Declaration. You read and see how much Russia has lied and that it is now the biggest threat to the world," he said.
In this regard, Zelensky called on Irish students to actively spread the truth about the Russian war and the crises it provoked.
In particular, to talk about what is happening and find a convenient format for supporting honest media or bloggers covering global affairs, including Russian aggression, as well as looking for specific projects that can help protect Ukraine and Ukrainians.
"The more joint efforts, the faster we will force Russia to withdraw from the territory of Ukraine and fulfill its obligations to the world," the president summed up.
