Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanks Australia and the Albanese government for its support, as the embassy discusses way to 'adopt' parts of Ukraine.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has declared he is unsure whether his country and Russia can ever have friendly relations again, warning the grief inflicted by the invasion will haunt his nation for a long time.
He fielded a series of questions from university students from around the nation but said the "hardest question" to answer was about the future of relations between Kyiv and Moscow."Every family has lost something, whether it was a child, whether it was a father," he said, before adding Russia would have to change dramatically before normal relations would be possible.
The President was also quizzed about the disastrous impact the invasion has had on the country's economy and society. As Ukrainian diplomats around the world approach allies to ask for more weapons and military equipment, they are also trying to get commitments from supportive nations about reconstruction, for whenever the war ends.
"The war has displaced 12 million people. Part of them are still in Ukraine losing their job, their business in other cities. Part has moved abroad losing the same," he said."When [those who have left] have a desire to return we will rebuild.In Canberra, the Ukrainian embassy is urging Australia to consider "adopting", or focussing reconstruction assistance heavily, on a specific region in the war-torn country, whenever peace comes.
