KUALA LUMPUR – Kyiv has activated its highest-level security and communication protocol, the “Red” protocol level in light of the Russian invasion into its sovereign territory.
Its Ambassador to Malaysia, Olexander Nechytaylo said that their armed forces are doing everything possible to defend their country and end the Russian advance.
“The next step is to end the war. It can only be achieved when the last invader, dead or alive, leaves the sovereign territory of Ukraine.
“We want to continue building our future without any interference,” Olexander Nechytaylo, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Malaysia stressed.
Under the “Red” protocol, every Ukrainian diplomat worldwide has been working around the clock tireless to help disseminate the real information on the current state of their nation.
“All Ukrainian diplomats around the globe are working 24/7 to protect our country and to help our brave military by telling the world the truth about the Russian war crimes, engaging UN and other avenues to isolate the aggressor and securing international assistance to Ukraine,” he said.
The ambassador also slammed Russia’s act of aggression and brought up how Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision has now not only destroyed homes and infrastructure but also cost the lives of the innocent.
He pointed out that the Kremlin has waged an “unprecedented unprovoked invasion on Ukraine”.
Furthermore, he stressed that this has exposed the “ugly nature” of the current regime in Moscow where hundreds, including children, have been killed as a result of indiscriminate attacks on the residential homes and civilian infrastructure over the past two days.
He also took the opportunity to call out Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov for lying as they had constantly assured that they would not attack Ukraine.
Since Russia’s attack on Ukraine, Ukraine has officially broken off Kyiv’s diplomatic relations with Moscow yesterday, marking it the first rupture in ties since Russia and Ukraine became independent countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the decision in a video message, hours after Putin launched an all-out offensive that included an air assault and ground invasions along the northern and southern frontiers of Ukraine.
