this is the real victims. and the number of victims is hundreds and hundreds of civilians who were killed by russian artillery fire, russian tanks, and russian soldiers directed by another complete mad man whose name is putin. this is a war not against ukraine. and everybody should understand that. this is the war against collective west. this is a war against u.s., nato, a war against europe, a war against the whole world. and he wants to destroy not only ukraine. he wants to destroy our values. he wants to destroy any nation in european continent. and that s why when you assist ukraine by supplying defensive weapons, by supplying the rocket
hostility in the longer term between the west and russia, which means having sanctions. it means a decoupling europe from russian energy supplies. some very far reaching consequences for supper and of course a terrible outcome for the people of ukraine. but i think they have showing front their courage and resistance that it is impossible for russia to subdue the whole country. i think we will continue to have an independent ukraine in a large parts of the country. i wish i could be more optimistic but that is how i see at the moment. optimistic but that is howl see at the moment- the moment. finally, how do see president putin s the moment. finally, how do see president putin s position? - the moment. finally, how do see president putin s position? he i president putin s position? he staked a lot on this war. it is definitely not going as he originally planned or hope for. today symbolises that. in brussels we have a very large collection of the world s leaders, perhaps 35 leaders
all over the world, telling them to come out and protest against the russian invasion. what kind of impact do you think that speech will have made? i impact do you think that speech will have made? have made? i can speak about the exnectations have made? i can speak about the expectations ukrainians have made? i can speak about the expectations ukrainians have, - have made? i can speak about the | expectations ukrainians have, they do expect starting from today, the day which marked the first month of this war which continues, more and more people from different countries around the world will take to the streets to protest against this war. for ukraine, it is absolutely clear that this is a war against humanity, a war against europe, at least. the reason why the ukrainian president appeals to the whole world, to people from different countries, to get out of their offices, universities and homes and to protest against the war. thank you ve much protest against the war. thank you
for you. us 100% safety, the same as it would foryou. i us 100% safety, the same as it would for you. i only ask from you,, after one month of war, i plead with you for the sake of our military, after such a war with russia, please never ever tell us that our army is not complying with nato standards. we have demonstrated our latest standards. we have shown how much we can do to contribute to safety in europe and the world and defence against aggression, against everything we value, that new value, however, nato has to demonstrate the alliance can do something to save people, to show that it is the strongest defence alliance in the world. the world is waiting. ukraine is waiting for actual actions, proper safety guarantees. from those whose actions can keep the peace.
the economic vice around the putin regime and that s what we are going to be. some of the things we are going be talking about. do you think there could i potentially be a recession as a result of this invasion? should europe and the rest - of the world be prepared for that? i think it s very important that we work together to get this thing done as fast as possible. the harder our sanctions, the tougher our economic vice around the putin regime and the more we can do to help the ukrainians, i think the faster that this thing can be over. thank you all very much. it comes as president volodymyr zelensky has urged people worldwide to demonstrate their support for ukraine as the war with russia enters its second month. in his latest video address, he appealed in english for rallies to be held in the cause of peace. show you are standing, come from your offices, your homes, your schools and your universities.
