Zelensky: The blow in Poland is Putin’s “message” to the G20 – Kyiv calls for a no-fly zone

The missile strike in Poland “it’s nothing more than a message from Russia to the G20 summit”, assessed the Ukrainian president today Volodymyr Zelensky speaking via video conference to Group of Twenty leaders meeting in Bali, Indonesia.

There is “a terrorist state among you, against which we must defend ourselves,” he added, referring to Russia.

It is now clear what modern war is. Today, it is impossible to imagine life without computer networks, high-speed communication, the Internet, and even more so – without electricity. But your enemies may try to deprive you of just that. Take Ukrainian defense experience in order to guarantee the safety of your people. We have created an IT army that prevails in cyberspace. The best specialists and companies of the country have united to protect the state. We repelled more than 1,300 cyberattacks during the 8 months of the Russian war. In the first week of the invasion, Russia destroyed a key data center of our country, and the response solution is the “clouds” into which we moved part of the information systems. We have built the protection of public registers. We have preserved the digital resilience of banks. Thanks to digitization, we can quickly organize social payments to those affected by hostilities. Millions of Ukrainians use our Diia state service every day. These are more than 100 public services without contact with officials. A digital passport, opening accounts, paying fines and taxes, receiving state aid, raising funds to support the army… All this is Ukrainian “Diia”. If you or your allies and partners do not already have such a system and such digital protection, we will be happy to help you build them! What we all need is to put aside disputes and develop collective efforts for global peace. The G19 can be very successful in this! Ukraine is willing to help. Our security experience is your security experience.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has called for a no-fly zone to be imposed over Ukraine, after a missile fell in Poland.

“We ask for the sky to be closed, because the sky has no borders. Not for the uncontrolled missiles. Not for the threat they pose to our neighbors in the EU and NATO,” Reznikov tweeted.

“This is the reality we were warning about,” he added, as reported by international agencies and relayed by the Athens News Agency.

“Attacks in Ukraine during G20 Show Putin’s Disdain for International Rules”

The attacks in Ukraine during the G20 summit in Indonesia this week show the contempt shown by the Russian president Vladimir Putin to international rules, said, meanwhile, today the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

He blamed Russia for the crises in the food and energy markets during a press conference after the G20 summit.
