PM: Striking deals with Russia means financing terrorism, genocide of Ukrainians

That the presidents of the four EU nations visited the liberated parts of Kyiv region testifies to support for Ukraine in the international arena.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal wrote about this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"The visit of the presidents of the four EU nations to Kyiv region shows a strong international coalition in support of Ukraine. And I hope it will convince those who doubt that dealing with Russia is to finance terrorism and genocide of Ukrainians," the prime minister wrote.

Shmyhal noted that the four presidents saw in Borodianka multiple residential buildings and infrastructure destroyed by the invaders, civilian cars shot at and burned, including those that had the inscription "Children" on them.

"They talked about the need to introduce large-scale sanctions that will help stop the war. I raised the issue of the inevitable accountability the aggressor will face," the head of government said.

He also stressed the need to restore Ukraine as soon as possible, adding that the Russian funds and property seized abroad must be used to rebuild damaged and destroyed infrastructure.

As reported earlier, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, together with President of Estonia Alar Karis, President of Latvia Egils Levits, President of Lithuania Gitanas Nauseda, and President of Poland Andrzej Duda visited the towns in Kyiv region, destroyed by Russian invaders.
