Ukraine is a peaceful country, we were never aggressive to anyone. But, right now, the situation is about our future, the future of our children - and we have to defend that.

You don't kill your brother.
You don't rape your sister.
You don't destroy your friend's country.
That's why today we dismantled this monument once created as a sign of friendship between Ukraine and Russia.

To our Russian colleagues: Ukraine is not your country. Its grain is not your grain. Why are you blocking the ports? You should let the grain out.
