Future of Europe now depends on 80 aircraft and 100 tanks for the Ukrainian army - Poroshenko on Polsat News

Petro Poroshenko said this on Polsat News, Espreso.TV reports.

He emphasized that the Ukrainian army showed that we do not need NATO troops, we need their weapons.

According to Poroshenko, some of this equipment is located in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland. "Please support Ukraine", he called on the leaders of NATO member countries.

Poroshenko also welcomed US leader Joe Biden's meeting in Poland with Ukrainian foreign and defense ministers. He explained that Ukraine is counting on Biden, Poland, NATO and the European Union.

The Fifth President of Ukraine also said that Russian tanks were still stationed near Kyiv, and air raid alerts were regularly heard in the city.

"We are at war. We have an air raid every hour. Ten to twenty missiles hit Kyiv, including civilian targets", says the Fifth President.

At the same time, Poroshenko emphasized that Ukrainians are not afraid of Putin, because they have a huge motivation to fight on their own land.

"This is our country. These are our children. Our parents, our families. This is our future. Russian soldiers, on the contrary, have no motivation. They do not understand why they are here. Therefore, we will win. Together, shoulder to shoulder. With our Polish, European, NATO, and American partners", he said.

Petro Poroshenko also believes that it is impossible to reach a compromise with Putin.

"He wants us to die, but we want to live. He is an aggressor because he does not recognize our statehood, he wants to take away our future from us. But that's not all, because he hates the West, he hates Poland, he hates the Poles. He hates our whole system of rules and values. He is crazy", Petro Poroshenko notes.

When asked whether the Russian president would be able to use nuclear or chemical weapons, he admitted that it was impossible to foresee this. However, if Putin did, he should know that he would not have "a chance of survival".

"Perhaps this will stop him, because now he is attacking Ukrainian nuclear power plants, and nuclear pollution knows no borders. The Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant is ten times more powerful than Chernobyl, but this did not stop them. Therefore, we must drive him out of Ukraine. We must be united", Poroshenko emphasized.

The Fifth President also believes that there could not have been a war in Ukraine at all, and Putin could have been stopped many years ago. "If Ukraine had been invited to NATO in 2008 in Bucharest, if we had been a NATO member in 2013 or 2014, this aggression would definitely not have happened", Petro Poroshenko sums up.
