“One of the most terrible things that war brings is separation… We cannot leave any of our people, any city or village under Russian occupation. Wherever the Russian occupation continues, there is violence and abuse of people. I am grateful to all our partners – every leader, every politician, every public figure, every country who really support us in the fact that only the complete liberation of our entire Ukrainian territory will allow us to fully restore the international order based on rules,” he said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyi also talked about the meetings and discussions he had with international leaders in recent days.

“Today, the president and the first lady of the Republic of Korea are visiting our country. A very important visit, a very important direction of our international activity. And this is the first visit of the President of the Republic of Korea to Ukraine during the entire period of relations between our states,” said the Ukrainian Head of State, News.ro reports.

“Now, when the speed of ending the war directly depends on global support for Ukraine, we are doing everything possible to make this support as intensive and meaningful as possible. During the 15 days of July, we already had negotiations, meetings, events with the leaders of the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, the Czech Republic and Poland. Also Slovakia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Sweden, Portugal, Spain and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Guinea-Bissau, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, President of the European Council, Charles Michel, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, Vselensky Patriarch Bartholomew,” said Zelenskyi.

“A speech addressed to the student community in Argentina, discussions with the largest and most promising investors and executives of American companies.
