Zelenskyy: Only marginals can support Russia's aggression in different parts of world

KYIV. March 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Everyone who supports Russia’s aggression in different regions of the world can only be marginal people, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address on Saturday, March 18.

“There are new NSDC sanctions. More than 400 individuals and companies. Most of them are Russian. It is the defense industry of the terrorist state. But these are also Iranian, and Syrian individuals, those who help terror. We study in depth each of our sanctioning steps,” he said.

According to the president, “Ukrainian sanctions are part of global pressure on Russia. All those who produce weapons for terror against Ukraine, who help Russia incite aggression, in particular by supplying Shahed drones, who support Russia’s destruction of international law, can only be marginals for the world. And this, by the way, will concern not only terror against Ukrainians, not only attempts to annex our land, starting with Crimea, but also other Russian aggressions against the international order, against normal, peaceful human life. In particular, on the territory of Syria.”

“The people of Syria have not received adequate international protection, and this has given the Kremlin and its accomplices a sense of impunity. Russian bombs destroyed the cities of Syria in the same way as our Ukrainian cities. This impunity is a significant part of the Kremlin’s current aggressiveness,” Zelenskyy said.

According to him, “when the Ukrainian people defend themselves, when the power of the UN Charter and the power of justice are restored on our land, this will guarantee peace for many other parts of the world as well.”
