KUWAIT CITY, Aug 12: The Ambassador of Ukraine to Kuwait Dr. Oleksandr Balanutsa expressed his appreciation for Kuwait’s participation in the Jeddah talks and its firm support for his country, as well as its humanitarian assistance, reports Al-Qabas daily. The ambassador praised the efforts exerted by most countries to stop Russia’s attempts to destroy the global balance. He particularly praised the initiative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and expressed his gratitude to Saudi Arabia for hosting the meeting in Jeddah, which brought together senior officials from more than 40 countries, which is three times more than what it was at the previous meeting of this level in Copenhagen. Ambassador Balanutsa said, “It is certain that any international meeting of this high level would bring Ukraine closer to implementing the peace formula proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky”. He highlighted that the Jeddah meeting revealed an increase in the number of countries that unconditionally respect Ukraine’s independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty.

The ambassador said, “It is also a sign of Russia’s increasing isolation, although this country described this noble Saudi initiative as an attempt to swing the world towards the south, behind Kiev. The Russian statements only confirm that the severity of the global food crisis is of its own making. On the other hand, the civilized countries that have joined the meeting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are trying to save the world from the Russian dangers.” When asked whether the Jeddah summit will pave the way to resolving the crisis in Ukraine, Ambassador Balanutsa said, “There is still a long way to go until peace is achieved in Ukraine, considering that the Jeddah meeting represents one of the important steps towards peace.” He said he believes the main outcome of the talks in Saudi Arabia is that the vast majority of Ukrainian partners had clearly emphasized the need to withdraw Russian forces from the territory of Ukraine and the impossibility of freezing the war in any way, since this would only give time to prepare for new attacks on Ukrainian territory.

Ambassador Balanutsa praised the dynamism and positive positions of some countries, including China, Brazil, South Africa, India, etc whose assessment of the situation in Ukraine tends to be neutral. He said, “The participants in the Jeddah meeting also agreed to continue working in this international format, and so it is likely to expand work on the matter.” The ambassador announced his country’s readiness to facilitate this process (referring to international efforts) by all available means, indicating that the upcoming global peace summit will be another step towards implementing the ten-point peace formula. He also praised China’s participation in the Saudi initiative, considering that China is implementing a very cautious policy towards the Russian war against Ukraine, and at the same time providing generous humanitarian support to the Ukrainians in need.

The ambassador said, “We highly appreciate the active participation of the Chinese representative in the Jeddah talks. The main point is that China is ready to continue participating in this manner, which indicates that Russia’s unjustified war against Ukraine is doomed to failure.” He also reiterated praise for the continuous Kuwaiti aid, which alleviated the suffering of the Ukrainian people, and expressed appreciation for Kuwait’s position in support of his country. The Ukrainian ambassador concluded by saying, “It is clear that no one wants to witness a worsening global food crisis, social fragility all over the world, global economic recession, and so on. Fortunately, the majority of countries are sparing no effort to stop Russia’s crazy attempts to destroy the global balance.”
