“I believe that it is humiliating for Europe when it is viewed simply as one big boutique or restaurant. Europe is primarily a territory of values, not primitive consumption. And when citizens of a state that wants to destroy European values use Europe for their entertainment or shopping , for the rest of their mistresses, while they themselves work for the war or to simply silently wait out the immoral fall of Russia, which is happening right now, then this is completely contrary to what Europe was united for in the first place,” he said.
The European Union, Zelensky noted, was aimed at supporting peace on the continent.
“I am working for the peaceful and democratic development of European countries. Europe cannot become morally deaf. And none of the European leaders will attribute the fact that they don’t smell money to the consequences of Covid. Because if there is such deafness, if there is such a loss of the ability to distinguish the smell of blood on bills, then there will be no Europe, there will be no peaceful Europe. I am grateful to those Europeans who understand that in times of war it is the duty of any normal person to fight for the aggressor to lose, for the occupation to end, for the Russian military left Ukrainian land,” the head of state emphasized.
