You can feel it only when you are here, the people from Europe and the U.S., it’s far from Ukraine, it’s far from the heart of this tragedy. You guys, you can’t understand the details, because you are not fighting here. We are speaking about closing the sky, you can’t decide to close or not to close, you can’t decide. If you are united against this Nazism and this terror, you have to close it. Not me -- don’t wait me asking you several times, 1 million times, close the sky. No, you have to phone us, to our people, who lost their children and say, sorry, we didn’t do it yesterday, one week ago. We didn’t push Putin, we didn’t speak with him a lot, we didn’t find a dialogue with him, we did nothing, and it’s true. Yesterday, the world did nothing. Believe me, believe me, if it’s prolonged this way, yes, you will see, they will close the sky. But we will lose millions of people.
