Zelensky added, during a speech during the Asia Security and Defense Summit, or what is known as the “Shangri-La Dialogue Forum,” that “Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, and the Israeli pressure on Gaza that followed the attack should not be confused.”
He continued, “On the first day of the attack on Israeli civilians, Ukraine said that if Hamas attacks civilians, Israel has the right to defend itself,” he said.
He considered, “After that, when Israel was in Gaza and there was a humanitarian crisis, Ukraine said: Firstly, it is ready to help Gaza in a humanitarian way. Secondly, international law must be respected, and thirdly, Ukraine recognizes two states, Israel and Palestine, and we will do our best to ensure a halt.” “Israel, the end of this conflict and the absence of civilian suffering.”
