Its president Ukrainian, Volodymyr Zelenskyargued in his nightly address that the world has a moral obligation to support its country’s soldiers who pay the price of freedom as they are fighting the Russian invaders.
“Every day, Ukrainian heroes give their lives to stop Russian attacks. That is why the world has a clear moral obligation to our soldiers. To everyone who is currently on the battlefield defending freedom”said the Ukrainian leader.
“That obligation is about bringing justice and bringing the terrorist state and its leadership to justice in front of judges. And this will happen,” Zelensky added and continued: “I thank Ukraine’s partners – every leader, every politician, every public figure of the states that help us – because they understand the price that the Ukrainian people pay to be free and to be Europeans are free”.
Surprise visits of officials to Ukraine
The president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, arrived in Ukraine late on Friday night (3/3), as she announced via a post on Twitter.
“It feels good to be back in Ukraine and to be with these brave people who inspired the world. With these heroes who refuse to give up. With those who sacrificed everything for our values. With Europeans, whose home is in our EU”Metsola wrote in the post, which she accompanied with a photo of herself.
Shortly after midnight, there was a new post by the president of the European Parliament, after the meeting she had with the president of the Ukrainian parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk.
“Ukraine’s future is as a member of the European Union. We will always be by your side. It’s great to see my friend Ruslan Stefanchuk again”Roberta Metzola reported.
Metsola was the first European official to visit Ukraine last April, delivering a speech to the Ukrainian parliament just weeks after the start of the Russian invasion.
Meanwhile, US Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprise visit to Lviv in western Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. The British Minister of Justice, Dominic Raab, also visited the country.
Garland had been invited by his Ukrainian counterpart and participated, among other things, in a conference on “United for Justice”. The visit was unannounced, for security reasons.
The US secretary reiterated that the US is determined to hold Russia accountable “for the crimes it committed in its unjust and unprovoked invasion of a neighboring, sovereign country,” the official said.
It is the second time Garland has visited Ukraine in recent months. The US accuses Russia of war crimes and crimes against humanity and supports many Ukrainian and international investigations to that end. US prosecutors are working with their Ukrainian counterparts to investigate these crimes, Garland said in a statement marking the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion. Recently, he called the founder of the mercenary organization Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, a “war criminal”.
