Ukraine: Everything would be different if there was no unity

Foreign Minister of Ukraine Kuleba was connected to the “Strategic Ark” conference organized by the Polish Institute of International Relations via video conference.

Without unity, everything would be different. Fortunately, since last year there is unity and we are all united around the common enemy. Only then can we defeat the enemy, and that is why it is so important to maintain unity”. he performed the assessment of it.

Kuleba stressed that the West should continue sanctions against Russia and that there should be unity in the new sanctions: “Ukraine is waiting for a concrete algorithm to join NATO, not a membership action plan.” he said.
