Speeches in foreign parliaments allow for telling truth about Russian war in Ukraine - Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in an interview with Latin American mass media, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"First of all, I’d like to tell you that I got to know your leader. And I think we have built a very good relationship. Indeed, he is a young man and has progressive views, he supports Ukraine. And I had the opportunity to speak in only two parliaments of Latin American countries. We applied to everyone, of course. If not all, then most. And we made requests for calls, for conversations, for dialogue – because all this offers people an opportunity to know the truth. That's all I need these contacts for – just for that. That’s because we will definitely talk about business between our states, but after the war. But amid war – it’s about knowing the truth and backing us politically, in terms of both support and justice. So we're all right with Chile. I am very grateful," Zelensky said, talking to a journalist from Chile.

He added that he also had the opportunity to speak before the Mexican parliament, "and Guatemala has always supported us in this."

"I will tell you frankly, in no way do I want to accuse anyone from your countries of anything. In Ukraine, we are so careful about the freedom we protect, that's why I am absolutely careful about people's choices," said the head of the Ukrainian state.

As reported, in April 2023, President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed via video link a joint meeting of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies of the National Congress of Chile.
