January 11, 2023 | 8:12 pmUKRAINE had been seeking to arrange a phone call between President Volodymyr Zelensky and Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. to discuss the war against Russia.
“We do understand that the priority for the Philippine government is to contact neighboring countries, and we’ve seen the very fruitful visit to China,” Mr. Mykhailiuk said. But a dialogue between the two leaders would help boost ties, he added.The envoy said government officials might have been busy with local administration and in trying to connect with China and the United States.
“We do understand that the Philippines is quite far from the battlefield,” the envoy said. “But any help with medical equipment and sanitary goods needed for the displaced would be great.” Of the 10 points under the peace plan, Mr. Mykhailiuk said the Philippines might be interested in radiation and nuclear safety, food security, the implementation of United Nations charter and restoration of justice.
Ukraine is seeking to end its war with Russia next year, Mr. Mykhailiuk said. “According to the general estimates, we’ll be ready to regain control of our territory by the middle of next year,” he added, citing Russia’s supposed dying military strength.
