Details: The president emphasized that most of the international aid to Ukraine is provided in the form of weapons, not money. He assured that the Ukrainian authorities react harshly to any attempts to misuse aid.
Direct speech: “Where we saw risks that something might happen to the weapons, we slapped everyone’s hands. And believe me, this applies not only to Ukraine. We did not make money from the war. If we found someone who tried to do this, we slapped their hands and we will continue to do so.”
Details: Zelenskyi also noted that the spread of disinformation is another problem that undermines trust in Ukraine and makes it difficult to get support from international partners.
Direct speech: “When someone says that somewhere Ukraine was selling weapons, and Russia picked up on this message, we always answered: look, our military would punish these people themselves. Sorry, without trial and investigation, because we do not have enough weapons at the front. When there are a lot of such information appears, trust and help are lost. Therefore, believe me, we fight more with disinformation than with real cases (of arms sales – ed.).”
