Ruslan Stefanchuk on August war: If the world had acted more decisively and tougher 15 years ago, Russia would hardly have dared to encroach on independent territories that do not belong to it

15 years ago, Russia launched an armed aggression against Georgia and the Georgian people. 15 years ago, the Russian federation demonstrated its aggressive imperial ambitions. If the world had acted more decisively and tougher 15 years ago, Russia would hardly have dared to encroach on independent territories that do not belong to it, the Speaker of the Rada of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk, tweeted.

“Today, Ukraine is fighting for its future against someone who has always tried to destroy it.

Only through joint efforts — resolute and coordinated — we can defeat the aggressor and establish peace in Europe,” Stefanchuk said.
