The Minister of Defense Slavjanka Petrovska said Thursday on the “Click Plus” show on TV21 that they had not left the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alone.

I would not say that we have left him alone because with all the mechanisms that we have seen recently, we take all measures and activities to oppose the aggressor in Ukraine. I think we have shown quite a lot of solidarity. If we as a NATO military alliance are expected to invade Ukraine, that is impossible. NATO forces operate on their territory and act exclusively in defense of the territorial integrity of NATO allies, said Petrovska, who reminded that members and other countries have joined the sanctions and are implementing them diligently.

Sanctions meant resistance to that aggression, said the defense minister.
