We have never relied solely on relations between country leaders, or only on the views and decisions of leaders at that level. For us, it has always been very important what societies think about what is happening, and whether ordinary people feel, in a broad sense, what we are... fighting for; whether they feel what we are fighting for here, in Ukraine, and what would threaten others if Ukraine had not held out. This sense of a shared threat and a common task – to protect life and our European choice, our European way of life – this sense has united country leaders, many other political leaders in partner countries, civic leaders, the business community, media professionals, and cultural figures. And most importantly, the thoughts of truly millions of people in different countries, in different parts of the world, have been and remain with us – above all in Europe, because this is Russia’s war in Europe, against Ukraine and against Europe.
