The war should be the most expensive for the aggressor - Zelenskyy speaks to participants of "Financial Ramstein"
This event takes place in Washington and brings together the finance ministers of Ukraine's partners, the European Commission, IMF leaders, World Bank and EBRD officials
Zelenskyy said this in his evening address.
"I just took part in a meeting of a special format of support for Ukraine - financial. The theme is primarily recovery. Recovery of our country after hostilities. I thanked the partners for helping us maintain the stability of Ukraine, our financial stability. And I urged them to be more active so that Ukraine could be more active in reconstruction, in returning normal life to Ukrainians. There will be no ruins in Ukraine. This is our goal."
And its implementation will be concrete proof of the terrorist state's complete defeat.
"Especially since the world knows the solution - regarding the assets of Russia, Russian officials, oligarchs who got rich while their state was becoming a terrorist... All these assets should be used to compensate for the losses of those to whom Russia brought pain and suffering. Russian assets must go to recovery after aggression. The war should be the most costly for the aggressor exactly," Zelenskнy added.
