AA / Kiev
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Saturday that his Turkish counterparts, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Azerbaijani, Ilham Aliyev, said they would help launch talks between Kiev and Moscow.
This is what emerges from a video posted by Zelensky on his official Twitter account, regarding the developments relating to the Russian military intervention in Ukraine.
Zelensky welcomed the proposal made by Erdogan and Aliyev.
He added that he had held talks with the Swiss, Greek, Dutch, Italian and Indian leaders, indicating that his country benefits from the interest of the civilized world.
He noted that his country will succeed in sanctioning Russia by withdrawing it from the Swift banking system, the main tool of the global financial system.
Zelensky pointed out that Russia will be excluded from the global financial system and that it will suffer losses estimated at billions of dollars.
He said he also had a meeting with several religious leaders, including the spiritual leader of the Catholic world, Pope Francis, and that they all prayed for the victory of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian President noted that the “occupiers” are working to destroy and eradicate everything in Ukraine, but that they will fight until the end to liberate the country.
At dawn on Thursday, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine, which provoked angry reactions from several countries and demands to impose the harshest sanctions on Moscow.
