Western countries can support Ukraine even more to end the war as soon as possible and help transform, not just rebuild the country. This opinion was expressed by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin in an interview with Vitaly Portnikov for Radio Liberty..

“Naturally, we need help both to support the economy, and to close the budget delta, and to restore critically needed facilities before the war ends and the plan to transform Ukraine starts to work,” said Pavlo Klimkin. – And it should be a plan for transformation, and not for restoration. We need to transform the country in order to ensure the fastest possible integration into the West, and into the EU, and into NATO, because this will be the final guarantee of our security against the Russian regime.”.

According to him, the West, providing Ukraine with weapons and imposing sanctions against Russia, must stop going beyond the logic of “no matter what happens” and not be afraid of escalation. But, nevertheless, the former head of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine agreed that the sanctions work and because of them "

“They really bring down the whole concept of this social contract between the Russian authorities and the Russian population:

you are silent, we protect you, we pay you and cover all other needs. Yes, in the long term, it is this social stability, if you use this particular term, that sanctions really violate. But the sanctions, first of all, hit the regime’s ability to continue this war and threaten someone in general,” Pavel Klimkin believes..
