Ukraine is not going to trade its territories

Khrystyna Gayovyshyn once again reminded the world that Ukraine neither de facto nor de jure recognizes the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine as Russian.

Our land is not for sale. Ukraine will not accept any restrictions on its right to self-defense or on the size and capabilities of our Armed Forces. We will also not tolerate any encroachment on our sovereignty, including our sovereign right to choose the alliances we seek to join.

The diplomat also recalled an important principle: nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine, nothing about Europe without Europe.

Official Kyiv is not going to reward Russia's pursuit of genocide.

According to the Deputy Permanent Representative, it is extremely important to strengthen support for Ukraine, both financial and military, to restore peace.

"The Kremlin regime will not stop unless it is stopped by unwavering and concerted pressure. If we do not stop Russia now, its aggression will not be limited to Ukraine," she warned.
