00:00 The visit to the Philippines was quick by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

00:05 He is hoping that he will deliver his message to the Filipinos.

00:10 Maris Umadi has the news.

00:12 In his first visit to the Philippines,

00:18 the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not stayed in the country for 12 hours.

00:24 That's why he is worried that he won't be able to visit the beautiful Philippines.

00:28 I saw just people, people are very warm in the hotel, in the palace and in the streets.

00:36 I saw him, just smiling.

00:38 Even though Ukraine is in the middle of a war,

00:42 President Volodymyr Zelensky still deserves to visit our country

00:47 because this is how he values the voices of the Philippines and the whole region

00:52 in talking about peace and freedom.

00:54 He also made a good decision to come here to personally invite President Marcos

00:59 to the upcoming peace summit of Ukraine that will be held in Switzerland this June 15.

01:04 It was very important directly to invite the President,

01:08 directly to speak with him about the details of what's going on on the battlefield,

01:12 what Russia brought with this war to our land, all this crisis.

01:18 And of course for us it's very important not to give Russia possibility

01:22 to influence on Asia.

01:24 We are preparing our steps to peace and of course for us it's very important that

01:29 Philippines really support our territorial integrity and sovereignty.

01:36 A few days ago, during the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore,

01:40 President Zelensky announced his decision

01:43 to stop Russia and China from visiting the so-called summit.

01:48 You said Russia and China are trying to undermine your peace summit in Switzerland this month.

01:55 Do you think Russia and China are afraid that the summit would become such a huge success

02:00 that it could undermine their global influence and how so?

02:04 Yes, because it's a pity that China joined to Russia and now helps them

02:14 to push the leaders not to participate in the peace summit.

02:17 We've been in shock really because we count on all the world.

02:22 But I think this is a surprise for Russia and their allies that for today we have

02:30 the confirmation from 107 countries and this is a huge result.

02:35 I think that Russia counted that nobody will attempt the summit and nobody will participate us.

02:42 But you see that really mostly the world is on the side of peace.

02:46 He said that he will be able to say the same to his country

02:49 what is happening in the Philippines now amid China's invasion of our ships in the West Philippine Sea.

02:55 And that's why we have to hold the situation and we have to be together

03:00 with very strong and clean position that nobody can occupy your territory. Nobody.

03:06 I think that there are a lot of similar things and a lot of challenging challenges.

03:13 That's why we spoke with the president that now we need unity.

03:19 If we will stay strong it means that it will give very important signal to other countries

03:26 not to try even to think how to occupy other independent countries.

03:31 Ukraine is considered a small country compared to Russia

03:35 but you are still successfully standing up against Russia.

03:39 What kind of lesson can the Philippines learn from your experience

03:44 especially with all these tensions in the West Philippine Sea

03:47 and all the bullying that we've been experiencing from China?

03:51 The lesson is that if you are on your territory

03:57 if you are in unity between people, government, soldiers

04:03 I mean everybody will defend your house.

04:08 The world saw the resilience of our people.

04:12 And that's why my message to you, of course we wish you only peace

04:17 but you have to be ready and to think about defending shield for the country.

04:24 When asked what makes him stronger than Russia?

04:29 Yes, moral is good.

04:31 I think that Ukrainians are still strong because we are right.

04:36 Because we are with a very honest position.

04:39 We are on our land, in our house, with our lovely children

04:42 and we will stay till the peace will come.

04:48 This is what you want to tell the Filipino people.

04:50 Yes, and Ukraine will never forget on which side you are now.

04:57 Historically I think you are on the side of truth, on the side of peace

05:02 in any challenges for your country.

05:05 Ukraine will stay together with you.
