As long as Russia does not teach humanity to children in its schools, no agreements with the aggressor state will work. Trade with Russia and economic cooperation will not help deter Russia from war, said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his speech at the Fifth Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen, according to UNN.

As long as Russian schools do not teach humanity, agreements with Russia will not work. As long as Russian universities consider international criminals as respected graduates, all of us, Russia's neighbors, need to take care of security. We are talking about preserving people and humanity in our countries, supporting families, which would give parents more opportunities to see how their children grow up and what they live for.
The head of state also emphasized that in the Russian troops, criminal concepts have long outweighed the military regulations. Russian soldiers torture and kill even their comrades.
"We see on the front that criminal concepts in the Russian army outweigh the regulations of the Russian armed forces. This is not only about "Wagnerites". It's about many other Russian units. They shoot their own when they try to leave the battlefield, put them in a pit when a person tries to defend their rights, rob their own, abuse civilians, torture prisoners. This is the culture of Russia, which breeds Putins and teaches to despise people, to despise humanity," Zelenskyy emphasized.
The President added that it is precisely because of such principles that it is difficult to agree on peace with the Russians, and trade with them will only lead to them having money to continue the war.
"This continues to exist and even intensifies. That is why it is so difficult to agree on peace with Russia. That is why trade with Russia, economic cooperation, any joint projects will not help deter Russia from war, but will only allow it to earn money for its continuation," Zelenskyy said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy added that this is how Russia teaches its children. And not only in educational institutions or sports grounds, but also in families.
Russia teaches its children this way in schools, in sports clubs, in universities. But also many, unfortunately, in families, and in mass culture products. This is a great lesson for all of us. For those who want protection from Russia, guaranteed security for our children
