Dumenko urges Europe to speed up arms supply
The head of the OCU structure Sergei Dumenko, speaking in Berlin on June 14 at the forum "Religious communities of Ukraine and Russia's full-scale war", urged Europe to stop the evil of Russian aggression, reports the OCU website.
"We support Ukraine's request for more aid with strengthened sanctions and weapons," Epiphany urged Europeans. “The more aid is given and the sooner it arrives, the sooner we will be able to fight back against the aggressor and restore sovereignty over our territory."
In his speech, Dumenko also stated that "Europe is not just a common economy or travel without frontiers. Above all, Europe is shared values, it is a space of peace, dignity and freedom."
