Zelensky:

NATO is a defensive alliance. It does not attack anyone. The Kremlin simply manipulates its people into believing otherwise.

Zelensky:

The elections will be held after the hot phase of the war is over and martial law is lifted. We are defending democracy, and elections are extremely important.

Zelensky:

Putin is not afraid of war with the West – he is afraid of economic collapse and internal unrest. If his economy collapses, if Russian society splits, he will not be able to hold on to power. That is what really scares him.

Russian FM Lavrov calls Trump's Gaza remarks 'manifestation of Western cancel culture.'

US calls are a serious violation of international law. Peace and stability in the region will not be achieved without the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

We rely on the UN concept of a settlement in the Middle East based on a two-state solution.
