Quotes and Sayings about Ukraine

The Ukrainian people are defending the values of freedom and democracy on which our civilization is based, and the very foundations of international law.

Giorgia Meloni - Juli 2023

The special military operation was done for the purpose of "denazification," while we've made Ukraine into a nation that's known throughout the world. They're like the Greeks or the Romans at their peaks. And as far as "demilitarization," if they had some 500 tanks at the start of the special military operation, now they have 5,000. If they had 20,000 capable fighters before, now they have 400,000. What kind of demilitarization is that? Now it looks more like we did the opposite, somehow or other, and militarized Ukraine.
