Ambassador of Ukraine Dmytro Ponomarenko gave interview to “Shin Donga” newspaper:
Key comments:
Ukraine is enduring the strongest Russian offensive since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. We are fighting to preserve our right to live as free people, not slaves. I do believe Ukraine will win.
Russia’s strategy toward Ukraine has a ‘terrorism” nature. Since February 2022, Russia has launched over 9 600 missiles as well as over 6 900 attack drones against Ukraine, the majority of which hit civilian facilities.
We refuse to make concessions to the aggressor at the expense of our sovereignty and territorial integrity. Ukrainians deserve a just peace.
Deepening cooperation between Russia and North Korea jeopardises international security, not only the security of Ukraine.
South Korea's support, particularly in humanitarian demining, has been invaluable. While non-lethal aid is appreciated, we hope for further support, including defensive weapons such as air defence systems, to help us win this fight for freedom.
