#456 โ€“ Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom

In any case, this war is for our freedom. Generally speaking, to be honest, When you understand, over time, when the war passes, you understand that your main values are at home. This is your home, your children, your love. God willing, parents are alive. And if not alive, then their memory visiting their grave. Choosing how to work, how much, preferably choosing where to work.

All this is freedom. Freedoms are not just a desire. They are an opportunity. In any case, you are right because war is a limitation of opportunities. In any case, you fight for these opportunities. Your parents... your parents and God gave you life, right? You fight for your life, your life. But we need to understand that first there is a war and then martial law is introduced.

martial law is not introduced because someone wanted to. You say, this is not Pinochet, this is not Pinochet, and so on. This is a completely different story. An aggressor came, and according to your legislation, if the border is violated, if there is armed aggression, you have all this written down, long ago written out in legislation.

You introduce martial law, and the introduction of martial law everywhere, at all times, means, in any case, a restriction of opportunities. If opportunities are limited, rights and freedoms are restricted. Therefore, the war itself restricts rights and freedoms. Yes, and you can't do anything about it. We try, honestly, to balance as much as Possible.

I believe that the business sector works despite the difficulties of the war. And we do everything. Somewhere. You know, there, somewhere, to reduce some load. Unfortunately, we cannot reduce taxes. On the contrary, a military tax is used for war. You need to take money somewhere. This, by the way, is about the fact, the fact that the US gave us a lot and Europe too.

But compared to how much we needed for the war, this is not all. As for military salaries, you know, you know that we could not pay the salaries of a million strong army.

This is a document because if you want to get a candidacy for European Union, you must implement the appropriate number of reforms. We do everything. During the war, we voted for many reforms, including anti-corruption, banking reforms, land reforms, major reforms. We started a large privatization and the war did not stop us. Yes, it slowed down, but we went through a lot.
