parliaments to those states and peoples whether support is important for us right now in an appeal to the parliament of slovakia thanked for powerful defense sanctions and other support explained our view on why energy cooperation with russia cannot be considered in isolation from the aggressive policy of this state and, using the ukrainian example, recalling the history of the so-called gas friendship with russia, showed what mistakes should be avoided by addressing the maltese parliament, reminded of the heroic battle for malta in the second world war, which is very similar in fact to our struggle today in the war of dependence and freedom against russia, then 80 years ago, the fate of malta depended on the battle the allies won the entire confrontation in the mediterranean sea, the fascists lost, we are doing everything so that the

confrontation on our land ends now. that is why we need principled support in sanctions, in particular, and from malta held talks in kyiv with the foreign ministers of germany and the netherlands, they talked about the strengthening of ukraine the end of this war, they also discussed the details of how our friends can participate in the post-war reconstruction of ukraine. i am grateful to them for resuming the work of the embassy in our capital, this is an important gesture that confirms europe's confidence in the future of ukraine. in total , 36 foreign representations are already working in the capital . the armed forces of our state have provided us all with good news from the kharkiv region. they are gradually pushing

back the occupiers from kharkiv. are showing real human strength to drive out the army of invaders, once the second most powerful army in the world, but i also want to call on all our people and especially those who are not in the rear spreading excessive emotions should not create such an atmosphere of specific moral pressure when certain victories are expected weekly, even daily, the armed forces of ukraine are doing everything for the liberation of our land and our people for the liberation of all our cities kherson melitopol berdyansk mariupol and all others today a special group of international experts under the chairmanship michael mcfaul andriy yarmak was offered a road map of energy sanctions, this is a detailed document that describes what needs to be done to make it really difficult for russia to finance this

war, but at the same time so that the global economy does not suffer losses due to restrictions on russian energy resources, this is a rational document, and today we started working on its implementation, and today i want to end this appeal with a tragic thing. the first president of ukraine, leonid makarovych kravchuk, died today. he was not just a politician and he was not even just a historical figure, he was the kind of person who knew how to find wise words and say them so that all ukrainians could hear them, especially in difficult crises moments when he can leave the future of an entire country to the wisdom of one person. leonid makarovych showed just such wisdom at the end of the 1980s. when the ukrainian movement was emerging, he passed the 91st year brilliantly, and it can only now look

as if it was easy for him then and not to be later leonid kravchuk always stayed with ukraine, perhaps thanks to his wisdom, he was especially cheerful, always appreciated life every minute, but also always found more than one minute away to help figure it out, to give advice, and in particular for i am personally grateful to him. he survived the second world war as a child, survived the occupation. leonid makarovych knew what freedom was worth and wanted peace for ukraine with all his heart. i am sure we will realize it, we will achieve our victory and our peace. to all those who defended ukraine , glory to ukraine, he was called a cunning fox because he

could negotiate with anyone and was even the hero of a classic anecdote of the first years of independence, in which he was asked to take an umbrella in the rain i answered nothing, somehow, among the drops from the history of the first president leonid kravchuk and his quotes, you can write a multi-volume book, and this is without taking into account political ambitions and historical facts . the first president of independent ukraine passed away in 1989 after a long illness. did ukrainians remember him? what he did for the development of our state, see the materials of danylo nisar, the last chairman of the verkhovna rada of the ukrainian ssr, the first chairman of the parliament of independent ukraine, the first president, politician, economist and hero of ukraine - this is leonid makarovych kravchuk, dear friends, people on whom a great responsibility has fallen, regaining

glory, regaining courage, regaining faith - this is what ukraine will continue to do. in the communist party in august 1991, he left the benches of the communist party of ukraine until the first. makarovych, who then chaired the council, what do you need to consult, i want to ask you and how

long can you consult already, because every deputy today is such a time that he must have his vote, who exactly after that began the history of independent ukraine kravchuk went to the first presidential elections as a non-party, then leonid makarovych won in the first round with 60% in favor and became the first president of independent ukraine, i solemnly swear to the people of ukraine to strictly adhere to the constitution and laws when exercising the powers of the president of ukraine

to consider and protect the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen of ukraine to protect the sovereignty of ukraine to faithfully fulfill the high duties assigned to me at the same time as the presidential elections, a nationwide referendum on the declaration of independence of ukraine was held, 34, if not 700,000 voters voted for the independence of ukraine, so i remained convinced of that that it really was a holiday of democracy, at the same time in december, on behalf of ukraine, i signed with the president of russia yeltsin and the chairman of the verkhovna rada of the republic of belarus shishkevych signed the belovezhsky agreement on the termination of the ussr. it was during kravchuk's presidency that all state institutions were created, the army was formed, the

first reforms were initiated, but most importantly, ukraine was recognized in the world. leonid makarovych devoted a long time to public work, and in 2014 he tried without appeal the annexation of crimea and russia's intentions to occupy the eastern part of ukraine. he lived through three occupations polish, german and soviet now russia is trying to buy some regions of ukraine, it is trying to enslave us, well, this is an unnecessary attempt because, as ivan franko wrote, there are people who are going up,

even though they were locked in a cellar, the doors of the cellar are open. leonid kravchuk is the author of numerous publications about politics and not only the first one about the government is the name of the book of memoirs that the first president presented on his jubilee birthday, he himself said that in order to publish it, it was necessary to distance himself as much as possible from the government, he was inspired by such creativity as leonid makarovich himself said to the youth, the politician spent a lot of time communicating with students, looked at the government with god, and you know, i saw only a lot of interesting things there. what i did before simply because somewhere i was tied to these issues in his work, leonid makarovich was also engaged in rethinking the role and he often perceived the functions of politicians and their image critically. we have a political vision, or to be frank, it simply

does not exist. politicians think that he should not speak. if it does not happen, it is not his fault. from july 2020, leonid kravchuk headed the ukrainian delegation in the tripartite contact group for the peaceful settlement of the situation in the east of ukraine, the time for rest has not come, i have made a decision if i can and i want to do something about it to speed up peace in donbas i will do it until my last breath in the summer last year, the politician underwent heart surgery after from which he could not recover for a long time leonid kravchuk passed away in the 89th year of his memory
