"Unfortunately, today, we feel what the war is. And Ukraine must build an effective security system for itself," the Head of State said.
Volodymyr Zelensky separately covered the issue of NATO's role in the modern European security system. He noted that until now, this system had not encountered such a war and did not have specific response algorithms. At the same time, the President expressed his conviction that concrete and efficient security guarantees can be developed using the example of the war in Ukraine.
The head of state separately informed the interlocutor about the situation at the front, noting that the russian aggressor was inflicting increasingly brutal attacks on civilian objects in Ukraine. According to him, this is targeted state terrorism, which has all the signs of genocide.
