Kurti: Kosovo knows the consequences of war, support and solidification with Ukraine until victory

Kosovo is well aware of the consequences of war and even the consequences of the coming decades after its end, but Kosovo is happy to be home to 12 Ukrainian journalists. With the blessing that has become a home, even a feeling of shelter, we will be next to you as a people, society and institutions today and tomorrow. Resistance, solidarity and support to victory”

Kosovo's “Republic has condemned and continues to condemn Russian aggression in Ukraine, impose sanctions immediately, and express our readiness to house up to 5,000 Ukrainian refugees”, Kurti said.

Kurti, on a anniversary of the beginning of the Russian occupation in Ukraine, said this aggression is an attack on freedom and democracy.

On the early morning of February 24th last year after gathering over 200,000 troops near the border, the Russian Federation launched military aggression against Ukraine, this attack is on freedom and democracy, and on our fundamental values”.

Russia's “Fight in Ukraine was shocking, but not surprising as it came as a cause of toleration of military maneuvers by a despotic president”, Kurti said.

In addition, Kurti at a solemn ceremony for Ukrainian journalists sheltered in Kosovo, Russian aggression compared him to the Mongols.

On February 24, 2022, the Kremlin wanted to repeat in Kiev what the Mongols had done in 1242. Russians in the 21st century were imitating the 11th century Mongols. So it looks like the Russian invasion from Kiven, Pristina, all of Europe”, Kurti said.
