Ukraine continues to do everything in its power to ensure that this war has the prospect of a diplomatic resolution. One of the key claims made by Ukraine’s opponents and by those who trust dubious sources is that we in Ukraine supposedly want the war to continue.
Your task is to consistently, persuasively, and credibly reject this accusation. It is Ukraine that wants peace. Ukraine has never wanted this war – not for a single day. It is Russia that is doing everything possible to prolong the war and inflict as much damage on human life as it can. We are working toward diplomacy. All leaders who can help know that we are ready for every substantive format. Putin is not ready. And that is precisely the problem.
And for there to be a diplomatic path, there must be no obstacles to it in any influential capital in the world. When Moscow does not want peace, Washington and Beijing can make it want peace. And we are doing everything possible to ensure that the capitals of Europe, which Russia does not particularly want to take into account, reach a level where Russia can no longer ignore Europe. This is one of the key objectives of our security and political cooperation with our European partners.
From an address at the meeting of heads of Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic missions. (6/7)
@stranddh På den banen; da det var grus der, skjøt jeg mitt første mål på en Skeid-trening som 10-åring i 1963! Vår trener Arild Arildset roste meg for det harde skuddet :-)
@loktvillingane For oss som reiser med nattog mellom Oslo og Stavanger blir det jo en kjærkommen stille stund i Kristiansand med lokomotiv (El18) fordi lokomotivet må flyttes til den andre enden av toget :-) På dagtid blir det litt lengre tid til å lufte seg i Kristiansand for passasjerene......
@Skeid1915@StPetters Det bør kanskje nevnes at han er barnebarn av Lyn-spilleren som kom fra Brage; Nils Kommandantvold og sønn av en tidligere Skeid-spiller(1978-1980); Rune Pettersen :-)
