This is a nation whose men and women are fighting on the battlefield, risking their lives... Our duty is first and foremost to help Ukraine, especially now, when it is particularly difficult, when perhaps some people are losing optimism. We have no right to any political considerations, we must help Ukraine because today it is an absolute necessity. We must help, and this is our sacred duty
