UK’s Ambassador: It must be for Ukrainians to decide on future of their country

It must be for Ukrainians to decide on the future of their country and they are in no mood to let any part of their sovereign territory go.

“Ukrainians’ homes are being destroyed. Ukrainians are being raped, displaced and robbed. It must be for Ukrainians to decide on the future of their country. So far every public poll tells us Ukrainians are in no mood to let any part of their sovereign territory go,” British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons posted on Twitter

As reported, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that Ukraine should give up part of its territory to Russia and that the United States and the West should refrain from seeking a defeat for Russia.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba stated in Davos that Ukraine would not make concessions to Putin, because the strategy of appeasing him from 2014 to the beginning of the full-scale invasion failed and had no chance of success in the future.

In his video address, President Volodymyr Zelensky reminded those seeking to make Ukraine give up territories to Russia about failed attempts to appease the aggressor in 1938.
