We are ready, we will not back down and your We hope we don’t get your support.” used the phrases.
“CHINA HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY NEUTRAL”

Expressing that the Italian public should help them to end the war in a short time, Kuleba noted that Italy’s involvement in the guarantee system would not put Rome at risk.

REQUESTED IMPLEMENTATION OF DESTRUCTIBLE SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA

In another post, Kuleba said, “The Bucha massacre has proven that Russia’s hatred of Ukrainians is beyond anything Europe has seen since the Second World War, and the only way to stop this is to help Ukraine expel the Russians as soon as possible.” He requested that the tanks, warplanes and heavy air defense systems they need for this be provided.
Kuleba also shared images about Buça.
The ruined buildings and streets full of corpses in the city of Bucha, near Kyiv, which was liberated from Russian soldiers on April 1, once again revealed the violence of the war that took place there.

Following his rescue, demining and body collection efforts were initiated throughout the city.
