The NSDC Secretary noted that “it is easier for authoritarian countries” – they do not take into account the opinions of the population and voters.
Democratic states, unlike authoritarian ones, take the necessary measures to provide armed and financial support. This explains the fact that Russia’s so-called partners provide the latest assistance faster. This is what the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, Alexey Danilov, said in an interview with Ukrinform published on Friday, February 16.
“Of course, we want them to act very quickly, but this is an element of democracy – gradually following all the procedures necessary to receive aid,” the official explained.
According to him, when it comes to transferring weapons, “it’s much easier for authoritarian countries.”
“There are no procedures, no one pays attention to the opinion of the population, voters. And therefore, authoritarian leaders can make any decisions in a short period of time. For example, North Korea and Iran, which now give Russian Federation with weapons to kill Ukrainian children”, noted the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.
He also quickly answered the question of whether Ukraine has a Plan B in case its partners delay the supply of weapons and financial aid. In particular, he emphasized that “Ukraine was, is, and will be.”
“Will it be difficult? Yes, it will be difficult. However, it will be difficult for us until we win. Will it be easier after victory? Yes, it will be. Unfortunately, on the way to in victory we lose the people, our best of the best. But building a nation is always difficult and difficult, “Danilov concluded.
As you know, on February 13, the US Senate supported a package that provides more than $60 billion for Ukraine – mainly military aid. But the Senate’s decision to appropriate the money is not enough – the bill must be passed by the House of Representatives.
