Ukraine’s Special Envoy for Africa and the Middle East, Maksym Subhk says although his country is already making postwar recovery...

, says Russia will pay compensation for the damages it has done in Ukraine through its invasion of the country.

You know that I have been on a tour with my minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba. We started the tour on 2 October, together with my minister we visited five countries then I continued the tour and I also visited four more countries and actually Nigeria comes at the very end of my tour because we believe that we need to talk with our African friends, partners.

So I am here just to say to our Nigerian brothers and sisters that we need the support of the whole international community and we must deliver the truth. Then we had more than 8,500 Nigerian students, the Nigerian student community is the second largest one in Ukraine. So definitely, now we are facing so many problems in providing for those students who had to flee Ukraine with an opportunity to resume their study that is why one of the options is online study.

That is why we advise that those students continue their studies online and also, tomorrow I am going to deliver a very clear algorithm on how Nigerian students can continue their study in Ukraine.

They really became patriots of Ukraine. They really became patriots of their native country and Ukraine and they clearly realise and understand what is behind that aggression. As I said, at the very beginning, it was absolutely unjust, unfair and unnecessary I believe that we need closer cooperation and closer coordination between our sides. Also, I hope that my visit to Nigeria and the tour which was conducted by the minister and myself will help really to get our positions closer, closer not only just on the bilateral level, but also multilaterally.

PT: Still on this UN resolution and Ukraine voting against concrete action, don’t you see that move jeopardising the reason for your trips to Africa?Well, actually generally, since we have applied for membership in the European Union, Ukraine always coordinates and adheres to the position of the European Union countries.

Ukraine had an independent and separate seat in the United Nations since this organisation was founded. Then Ukraine was one of the founders of the committee for fighting apartheid and racism; that was in the 20th century.
