Neutrality today in this war is support for the Russian side. Neutrality is very helpful only to the Russian Federation. There can be no neutrality between the aggressor and the victim.
“I believe that those who attended the BRICS summit and spoke about their neutrality said that they want to help resolve this conflict, appearing more pro-Russian – adds Zelenskyy. This means that it is not about peace, because Russia started this war and continues it. So it is about war.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.
Zelenskyy added that India, as an important nation in the global arena, may help to reach an end to the conflict. He emphasized the need for India to use its demographic and economic might in the international arena to put pressure on Russia and promote peace.
When asked about the ineffectiveness of sanctions, Zelenskyy stated that while several significant economies, such as India, China, and Turkey, haven’t taken any measures against Russia, these restrictions have produced some results. He called for a comprehensive sanctions policy to restrict Russia’s military operations.
With the US presidential elections coming and the potential of a peace process taking off, Zelenskyy urged for a stronger global reaction to the ongoing war. He warned that if people did not respond, the violence would continue, killing more people and causing more pain.
Zelenskyy’s statements demonstrate how effectively he deals with the interrelations of the two states while also recognizing the importance of working together to get to such states when armed war in Ukrainian territory is no longer an option.
