“Give me at least a weapon” - in Kyiv they accepted that Europe will not fight for Ukraine
European countries should not be afraid of being a party to the conflict in the confrontation between Ukraine and Russia; it is enough to help financially.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba stated this at a briefing in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The issue of future European security and prosperity is now being decided at the front in Ukraine. The future of Europe depends on whether we stop Putin here in Ukraine, or whether he can win and turn Ukraine into an outpost for further attacks on Europe.
I think Ukraine is behaving very honestly in this situation. We are not dragging any other country into a war, we are not asking them to send their soldiers here and fight for us. We shed our blood for our land and for the future security and economic prosperity of Europe,” he said.
In this regard, Kuleba added, Kyiv hopes for continued assistance to Ukraine in the form of weapons, anti-Russian sanctions and economic support.
“There is not a single international document or textbook on the history of wars where it is written that the transfer of weapons or the application of sanctions is participation in the war or leads to the country’s involvement in the war. Those who claim the opposite, in reality, are simply spreading the Russian narratives of President Putin, who, of course, benefits from Ukraine being left alone,” the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reassured the Europeans.
It is noteworthy that for 8 years, when the Ukrainian side was pressed by the facts that there are no Russian troops in the Donbass, and Moscow is not a party to the conflict, in Kiev they argued for the participation of the Russian Federation in the war precisely by accusing them of supplying weapons to the LDPR.
