Sybiga explained why the West should not fear Putin's threats.


Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated that the threats of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin do not work.
As reported by "Khyvlya", he wrote about this on
X (Twitter).
At the same Time, Sybiga emphasized that Ukraine's allies should not succumb to the dictator's threats.
"Putin's threats do not work. Ukraine's allies should not succumb to them. In the spring of 2022, he warned of unprecedented consequences if the West provided Ukraine with weapons for defense. The weapons were provided. Putin did nothing. Similar rhetoric has been repeated many times in recent years", he emphasized.
Additionally, the foreign minister reminded that Putin threatened consequences for the expansion of NATO when Finland and Sweden joined the Alliance. Also, when Ukraine received F-16 fighter jets. However, the dictator could do nothing.
"Every time Putin faces strength, he retreats and finds ways to explain it to his people", Sybiga stated.
The foreign minister also expressed the opinion that in response to Putin's threats, allies should strengthen support for Ukraine, lift restrictions on the use of weapons, enhance the air shield, as well as Ukraine's economic and energy resilience.
"Fear and hesitation are deaths and crises. To restore peace, courage is needed, not fear", he added.
Recall, Scholz sharply rejected strikes with German weapons on the Russian Federation.
