Zelensky calls on people to put personal matters aside and take care of state during wartime

President Volodymyr Zelensky urged that during the war, personal matters should be postponed and that "in every role, every job, every position," people must act in the interests of the state.

He stated this in his evening address, Ukrinform reports.

"There is no room for any other politics in Ukraine right now. This is a time of war. A time to defend our state, to protect our people. Personal matters come later. Therefore, I want to thank everyone defending Ukraine, Ukrainian interests specifically, as if they were defending themselves, in every role, every job, every position. Care for Ukraine. Care for the people," Zelensky said.

He noted that unity is especially important today. "I am also grateful to our warriors on the frontline, who carry out active operations and replenish the exchange fund for us, for Ukraine. And it is the courage of our warriors that ensures all this – the humanitarian results and, overall, our diplomatic capacity, our strong diplomatic positions. The key is when these positions are shared. When all of us in Ukraine work together for Ukraine to endure, defend itself, and achieve a dignified peace," he emphasized.

As reported, today Ukraine's Ambassador to the United Kingdom and former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, in an interview with AP, spoke about disagreements with President Volodymyr Zelensky, including tensions that arose in September 2022. He also said that the counteroffensive plan developed together with NATO partners failed because Zelensky and other officials did not allocate the necessary resources.
