Rostyslav Kalatsynsky, president of the association of the Ukrainian community in Colombia Prosvita, assured this newspaper that, if the war in Ukraine is not stopped, they are on the verge of famine.
“Putin's cruelty is worse every day. In addition, other potentially latent conflicts will flourish. Therefore, it is important to continue to internationally condemn this illegal invasion because, otherwise, more international conflicts will prosper tomorrow and that should worry us all,” Kalatsynsky said.

Putin's cruelty is worse every day. In addition, other potentially latent conflicts will flourish.
Regarding the possibility of a solution to the conflict, Kalatsynsky assured that, from his perspective, “only financing the Ukrainian army is the answer.”.
“It is clear that Russia, at this point, has no intention of finding a peaceful and negotiated solution. They do not withdraw their soldiers or their military forces. In that sense, we require that the powers continue to supply the planes, tanks and ammunition that we need, not only to be able to defend ourselves, but to prevent the war in Ukraine from ending up being the beginning that unleashes other conflicts in Europe and around the world. , he added.
