Americans friends I am proud to greet you from Ukraine from our capital city of
Kyiv. A city that is under missile and air strikes from Russian troops every day. But it doesn't give up and we have not even
thought about it for a second just like many other cities and communities in our beautiful country which found themselves in
the worst war since World War Two. I have the honor to greet you on behalf of the Ukrainian people brave and freedom loving
people who for eight years have been resisting the Russian aggression. Those who give their best sons and daughters to stop
this full scale Russian invasion. Right now the destiny of our country is being decided. The destiny of our people whether
Ukrainians will be free whether they will be able to preserve their democracy. Russia has attacked not just us not just our
land not just our cities. It went on a brutal offensive against our values basic human values it through tanks and planes
against our freedom against our right to live freely in our own country choosing our own future.
Against our desire for happiness against our national dreams. Just like the same dreams you have. You Americans just.
Like anyone else in the United States. I remember your national memorial in Rushmore the faces of your prominent presidents.
Those who laid the foundation of the United States of America as it is today. Democracy independence freedom and care for
everyone. For every person. For everyone who works diligently who lives honestly. Who respects the law. We in Ukraine want the
same for our people. All that is normal part of your own life. Ladies and gentlemen
friends Americans in your great history. You have pages that would allow you to understand. Ukrainians understand us now.
When you need it right now. When we need you right now. Remember Pearl Harbor terrible morning of December 7 1941 when your sky
was black from the planes attacking you. Just remember it. Remember September the 11th a terrible day in 20 2001 when evil
tried to turn your city's independent territories in battlefields when innocent people were attacked.
Attacked from era. Yes. Just like no one else expected it. You could not stop it. Our country experience the same every
day. Right now at this moment every night for three weeks now various Ukrainian cities. Are there some kind of future you have
so measured dominantly Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death for thousands of
people. Russian troops have already fired nearly 1000 missiles at
Ukraine. Countless bombs. They use drones to kill us with precision. This is a terror that Europe has not seen has not
seen for 80 years. And we are asking for every fly for an answer to this terror from the whole world. Is this a lot to ask for.
To create a no fly zone zone over Ukraine to save people. Is this too much to ask. Humanitarian no fly zone. Something that
Ukraine that Russia would not be able to terrorize our free cities if this is too much to ask. We offer an alternative. You
know what kind of defense systems we need. Three hundred and other similar systems. You know how much depends on the
battlefield on their ability to use aircraft powerful strong air of aviation to protect our people our freedom our land. Aircraft
that can help Ukraine. Help Europe. And you know that they exist and you have them. But they are on
earth not in Ukraine. In the Ukrainian sky they do not defend our people.
