“This World Cup proved time and again that different countries and nationalities can decide who is the strongest in fair play, but not in playing with fire. On the green playing field and not on the red battlefield. This is the dream of so many people!.. When players compete making everybody enjoy peace,” the President said in his address.
He emphasized that Ukraine seeks peace above all else.
“We offered Peace Formula to the world. Absolutely fair. We offered it because there are no champions in war, there can be no draw. So, I announce the initiative to hold a Global Peace Formula Summit this winter. The summit to unite all nations of the world around the cause of global peace,” he said.
According to Zelensky, wars must fail, and peace is to become the champion. “The World Cup, but not the World War. It is possible!” the President said.
He called on supporting Ukraine and efforts to restore peace, and join Global Peace Formula Summit.
“Let's witness the final together – and the end of war,” Zelensky said.
