President Zelensky urges French companies to stop sponsoring Russia’s “war machine”

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his speech in the French Parliament, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Dear ladies and gentlemen! Dear French people! Tomorrow will be a month since Ukrainians have been fighting for their lives and their freedom, since our Army has been heroically opposing all the forces of Russia. The prevailing forces of Russia. We need greater assistance, we need greater support. In order for freedom to not lose, it must be well armed. Tanks, aviation, anti-aircraft defense systems – we need all of this. You can help us,” Zelensky told.

According to him, in order for freedom to win, the world must also support the fight for it with sanctions. French companies should realize that values are more important than profit and stop sponsoring murders, rapes and other crimes committed by the Russian military.

“A new package of sanctions every week. French companies should leave the Russian market: Renault, Auchan, Leroy Merlin and others. They must cease to be sponsors of Russia’s war machine. Sponsors of killing children, women; sponsors of rape, robbery and looting by the Russian Army. All companies must remember once and forever that values are worth more than profit. Especially profit on blood,” Zelensky stressed.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting a war. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and villages, killing civilians.
