World War II showed hopelessness and danger of appeasing aggressor – Turchynov
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov calls not to forget the lessons of history, remembering that the aggressor cannot be appeased.
"One shouldn't forget the lessons of history. And the war has taught us that it will never be possible to reconcile the aggressor. The behavior and motivation of the aggressors is the same at all times. And trying to persuade them to adhere to the standards of international behavior and respect the interests of other countries is not only ungrateful, but also unpromising and dangerous," Turchynov noted in his address on the occasion of the Day of Memory and Reconciliation.
The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council noted that World War II demonstrated to everyone how fragile the balance between peace and war could be, how devalued the human life could be.
Turchynov said that Ukrainians would fight to the end for freedom and their country. "Eternal memory to the heroes who sacrificed their lives, defending their country. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes!" he concluded.
