“Russia does not have as many missiles as our people have the desire to live,” he said.
“Russia hawana makombora mengi kama vile watu wetu walivyo na utashi wa kuishi,” alisema.

He told the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, “"We must prepare for the fact that it could take years. We must not let up in supporting Ukraine.”
Ameliambia gazeti la Ujerumani Bild am Sonntag, “Ni lazima tujiandae kwa ukweli kuwa vinaweza kuchukua miaka mingi. Inatakiwa tusiache kuiunga mkono Ukraine.”
He added, “Even if the costs are high, not only for military support, also because of rising energy and food prices."
Aliongeza kuwa, “Ingawaje itakuwa ni gharama kubwa, siyo tu kwa msaada wa kijeshi, lakini pia kwa sababu ya kupanda kwa bei za nishati na chakula.”
