Sybiha to Slovak FM: Russia will hit your other cheek as well
Ukrinform
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha responded to his Slovak counterpart Juraj Blanár, who had suggested the possibility of forgiving Russia for its crimes.
As reported by Ukrinform, Sybiha made the statement on the social platform X.
“Juraj, Russia's sense of impunity is the root cause of its crimes. It's naive to expect a criminal to stop if their crime is forgiven instead of punished. Russia will hit your other cheek as well. And those who have lost no one in this war have no right to make such statements,” the Ukrainian minister wrote.
As previously reported, Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár suggested that for the sake of a diplomatic resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war, “perhaps, Russia should be forgiven for everything that has happened”.
