Zelensky explained why russia needs control over Ukraine

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, addressed the participants of the opening ceremony of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Ministerial Meeting

Rubryka reports, referring to the President's Office Telegram.

According to the President, the world has not recognized Ukraine's importance and the value of warnings for a long time.

"But Russia has always known, a few steps against our state, a few steps in our region, and all continents will feel the consequences."

That is why russia needs control over Ukraine..

And that is why helping protect Ukraine is the core interest of the world now. We need to end russia's war against our state as soon as possible so that we can guarantee the security of food supplies across the Black Sea," Zelensky said.

The president stressed that Ukrainian agricultural exports play a stabilizing role in the global market.

"russia must be held accountable for provoking a new migration wave in Europe. Long-term and painful sanctions must be applied to russia at the global level.

russia's membership in the FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, must not be continued," he said.

As a reminder, on June 9, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, gave an address at TIME100 Gala.

"We can ensure the defeat of tyranny. All of us can do it, all the leaders of our time. We can defend freedom. We can stop the blackmail of a person who doesn't even deserve to be on our list.

If we can do it, then we must do it. Because having influence has responsibilities," Zelensky said in his address.
