\! I congratulate the whole planet on the World Cup final! Today we will see a common victory - a celebration of the human spirit.

This World Cup proves time and time again that different countries and peoples can decide who is the strongest in fair play, not in playing with fire.. On a green football field, not on a red battlefield. This is the dream of so many people! When players compete but everyone enjoys the world. Every father would like to take his son to a football match.. Wherever it is. And every mother would like her son to come back from the war. Whenever it is. Ukraine is most committed to peace!

We offered the world a formula of peace, absolutely honest. We proposed it, because in war there are no champions, there can be no draw. So, I am announcing an initiative to convene a Formula Peace Global Summit - this winter. Summit to unite all peoples of the world around the idea of \u200b\u200bglobal peace. The stands of the stadiums are empty after the match, and after the war the cities remain empty. Therefore, wars must fail, and the world must become a champion, as it is here now - in Qatar.. World Cup, not World War. It's possible!

Please support Ukraine and our efforts to restore peace! Join the Formula World Global Summit and become world champions! Let's see the finale together - and the end of the war. Glory to Ukraine! And Happy Qatar National Day! " Earlier it was reported that the President's Office reacted to Zelensky's ban on delivering a peace message before the 2022 World Cup final..
