Zelenskyy noted that multiple citizenship will help create more real legal foundations for the unity of Ukrainians on all continents. As well as for representatives of other nations who have linked their fate with Ukraine.

Thanks to the Special Tribunal and cooperation with various countries and international organizations, Ukraine will be able to ensure that Russia's punishment for a full-scale war is truly inevitable. And thanks to steps to use various types of weapons, it will be possible to achieve "at least parity in forces and means" to defend against Russian aggression.

I expect the government and the Office team to present a schedule for the implementation of the agreements on the launch of the tribunal. We are also intensifying defense solutions that will support our soldiers," he summarized .
