"The West and Ukrainians reproach us of rendering assistance to Russia, but I tell Ukrainians, “Almost sixty most developed countries help you, while this [Russia] is our ally.” We are legal, actual and mental [neighbours and allies with Russia],” the Head of State stressed. "I declare and openly tell Ukrainians about it.”

"Why shouldn't we help them? That is why I am not hiding it. What should I hide? True, a large share of our co-operation is mostly hidden. The war is going on, so no one reveals everything,” the President explained.
