Oksana Markarova: “We are defending freedom in Ukraine.”

By providing the so much needed assistance to us, America is not funding the war. It's actually funding our defense and efforts, which will lead us to peace because its very clear Ukraine was always peaceful.

We are asking everyone who can put pressure on Putin or who can help us to bring him to the table to stop this war.

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.

Ukraine has to be whole within the internationally recognized borders.
