How Sergei Shefir reacted to his brother’s words
In response to Boris, Sergei Shefir stated that he «strongly disagree» with the position of his relative.
«Russia is an aggressor and terrorist country that started a war against our country. Russia and Putin personally must be held accountable for crimes committed against Ukrainians. Ukraine needs peace. And the formula for this world is clearly stated by Vladimir Zelensky. His actions as the President of Ukraine, which he does for our victory, I support as a citizen and friend», — stated Sergey Shefir.
He also said that he was born in Krivoy Rog, and it so happened that he lived in a Russian-speaking environment.
«This war was a turning point for me. I began to respect the Ukrainian language even more, as well as our culture and history. But our historical choice is where to go. Go only to the European Union and NATO», — added Sergey Shefir.
