Today's intervention of the President of Ukraine in the House of Representatives demonstrated in its entirety the brutality of the Russian invasion and the extent of the destruction and pain it has left behind, as was the case with the atrocity in Bukhara, and words seem poor for any description.
This is what the Democratic Rally says in a statement, stressing that we stand by the Ukrainian people in their most difficult time with all our forces, as we have stated and acted since the beginning of the war since the tragic events in Ukraine concern us both as Cypriots and as citizens of the European Union.
Regarding President Zelenski's failure to mention the Turkish invasion, he said that "Cyprus, crippled by the Turkish invasion and occupation, cannot but oppose any authoritarian and revisionist behaviour that leads to a violation of international law. This is our reality from 1974 until today and we do not expect it to be changed by mere petitions, however necessary, but by the full application of international law as rightly demanded by the European Union and the entire civilized world in the face of what we see in Ukraine with Russia's responsibility."
Above all, he added, what President Zelensky said today reinforces our conviction that we are standing on the right side of history, in the scales of which we are all on the right side, both inside and outside the country.
Referring to AKEL's abstention, he notes that it is strictly judged by society itself. "At this critical juncture for Europe, with the war raging in its innards, we are acting within our capabilities and together with our European family, both in support of the Ukrainian people and in order to bring an end to the war as soon as possible," he concludes.
