Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Ukrainian representative for the 2022 Sakharov Prize, Oleksandra Matviychuk, finds it incomprehensible that the West says that the war against Russia defends all of Europe, but does not provide more modern weapons .
“I know many countries have armored vehicles, they have fighter jets, they have air defense systems, but they are still hesitating. If they say we are fighting across Europe, why don’t they supply us with weapons?“asked the human rights lawyer, in an interview with Lusa, on the sidelines of the Sakharov Prize award ceremony, awarded Wednesday by the European Parliament, in Strasbourg, France.
“We are not asking them to fight the Russians with us, we can do it ourselves. But please provide us with weapons to do so. Not doing it is something I can’t understand,” he lamented, referring to the fact that in the news it seems Western countries have given Ukraine everything the country needs. needed to fight against the Russian invasion.
“Unfortunately no. We still have a huge need for modern weaponssaid Oleksandra Matviychuk, founder of the human rights organization Center for Civil Liberties of Ukraine.
“If we are fighting for Europe, why not provide us with weapons?
