Direct speech: “I certainly do not want my statement to be used by the Russian Federation and the war criminal Putin to justify an attack on our country. If any of the Ukrainians who are fighting at the front or working in the rear for victory were offended by my words, I want to apologize. We all we must be united, aiming at victory over the external enemy and putting aside all internal differences.”
