President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that difficulty believing in reliability of “some countries or some leaders” after the escalation of war in his country.
CNN’s Jake Tupper asked Zelenskiy in an exclusive interview if he finds statements when world leaders use in term “never again,” a slogan that is associated with The Holocaust and is often said after the crimes against humanity”empty” now.
“You lost your ancestors in Holocaust. Everyone year on Holocaust Remembrance Day, politicians say out statements that never again never again. These statements should seem really empty to you right now. When world says never again did they ever mean it? Tupper asked.
Zelensky replied: “I don’t believe in world. After we’ve seen what’s going on on in Ukraine, we – I mean, I don’t believe in this feeling that we should believe – some countries or some leaders. We don’t believe in words. After the escalation of Russia, we do not trust our neighbors. We don’t trust everyone of This.”
The Ukrainian president is gone. on say he doesn’t even believe in documented security guarantees and international law is like war in Ukraine is raging and with Russia blamed of alleged war crimes.
“Even I do not believe the documents, because we also have the Budapest Memorandum – I think you know all of details of This. For me it just a piece of paper and costs nothing,” Zelensky said.
Zelenskiy told CNN his faith and his beliefs are lies with practical, tangible efforts and Ukrainian people.
“We just believe contracted, pragmatic things. If you are our friends or partners, give us weapon, give us hand, give us support us, give us money and stop Russia, kick Russia. You can do this if you are a friend. If you think about this democracy and everything just of this moment, because we have the same thoughts if we talk about freedom, and not because we want have dialogue about freedom,” he said.
Zelensky continued: “The only faith is faith in themselves, in our peoplefaith in our Armed Forces and the confidence that countries are going support us No just with their words, but with their actions. And it’s all. Never again … Indeed, everyone is talking about it, but, as you can see, not everyone has the courage.”
