Oksana Markarova

It’s a fight for democracy. It’s a fight for rule of law, which has been breached, the international rule of law which has been violated by Russia.

We have heard so many lies by this war criminals and they do not deserve to be called anything else.

I hope that then it will be evident for all -- to all Russians what they are doing in Ukraine, that it's an aggressive war.

We will do everything possible on the battlefield, but also diplomatically, to restore our territorial integrity and sovereignty.

We count on all of our friends and allies to help us with everything, so we can stop Russia while it's still in Ukraine.

The question is, are we all prepared, the civilized world, to do everything possible to defend our democracy and freedom?

We will never recognize it. The whole world will never recognize it.

I think the sharing of information between Ukraine and the West with all of our friends and allies is at the level which we never had before.

Ukraine certainly is not only ready, but shows for the past 74 days that we bravely defend those values and defend our homes.

The sharing of information between Ukraine and the West with all of our friends and allies is at the level which we never had before.

We have to remember that 95 percent of Mariupol is destroyed, that tens of thousand civilians died in Mariupol, were killed by Russians.

Ukraine has to be whole within the internationally recognized borders.
