00:00:00.058 --> 00:00:04.273
Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, dr. Robert Golob.

00:00:06.880 --> 00:00:13.236
President, dear colleagues, dear Ukrainians!

00:00:14.109 --> 00:00:16.200
It is not easy to be here.

00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:20.115
It is one thing to hear about what has happened in this place.

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.095
But it is something entirely different to actually be here and feel it. 

00:00:27.008 --> 00:00:31.894
Such experience makes you think about many things. 

00:00:32.848 --> 00:00:35.116
About who we are as people.

00:00:35.620 --> 00:00:38.833
And about what is right and what is wrong.

00:00:40.502 --> 00:00:44.239
Let me therefore say loud and clear that it was not right

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.173
for Russia to attack Ukraine.

00:00:47.046 --> 00:00:50.053
The argument of power cannot and must never overwhelm over

00:00:50.494 --> 00:00:52.240
the power of argument.

00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:00.349
And it was also not right that here in Bucha

00:01:00.349 --> 00:01:03.448
the Russian aggressors took it out on innocent people.

00:01:03.621 --> 00:01:09.375
War is not and cannot be an excuse for inhumanity, lawlessness and impunity.

00:01:11.293 --> 00:01:15.019
It is therefore all the more right that we all stand by you in this hour of need.

00:01:15.259 --> 00:01:20.504
It is our duty to help you in your just fight for freedom.

00:01:23.781 --> 00:01:28.257
It is also our duty to support you in your search for justice.

00:01:29.207 --> 00:01:32.374
There can be no justification for aggression and war crimes,

00:01:33.036 --> 00:01:35.143
only just punishment

00:01:35.498 --> 00:01:37.480
for those who committed the crimes.

00:01:39.676 --> 00:01:42.341
This war is unprovoked and unnecessary.

00:01:43.166 --> 00:01:44.849
It has been forced upon all of us.

00:01:45.914 --> 00:01:48.505
But it has also united us.

00:01:49.502 --> 00:01:51.396
Today we are all Ukrainians.

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:02.566
Your flag is now our flag.

00:02:03.381 --> 00:02:08.324
In Slovenia, it flies in front of all government buildings.

00:02:09.897 --> 00:02:13.550
Including the Prime Minister's Office.

00:02:15.267 --> 00:02:20.375
Let me conclude by saying that today we are united as never before.

00:02:21.555 --> 00:02:24.601
Together with you, we are also of Cossack descent. 

00:02:25.426 --> 00:02:30.772
And together with us, you will again rule your country.

00:02:31.817 --> 00:02:33.634
Slava Ukraini!
