We believe that strategic goal of Ukraine is Ukraine’s accession to European Union and North Atlantic
Alliance. Look at our history. Has it not told you anything? When over the last ninety years Ukraine has declared
its independence for six times, and five out of six, it lost it. What was it we were lacking to make sure in 1918,
1919, 1939, 1941 we can assert ourselves as a sovereign country with its own borders. We lacked just one thing
– international guarantee, for the eternity of our sovereignty.

And it was not the first attempt. In 1991 President of Georgia Gamsakhurdia, using the slogan ‘Georgia
for Georgians’ (just think of these words), gave an order to launch an assault against Zkhinvali. Tens of people
died and hundreds of people became refugees, villages were destroyed. This was the result of that assault and it
was Russia which stopped the extinction of the people, of the thousands of Osetians. Russia became the
peacekeeper and the mediator in this conflict. We did all we could to use a peaceful means of settling this
conflict.
