President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed condolences to all Americans and the family of former US President Jimmy Carter on his death.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Carter was a leader who served as President at a time when Ukraine had not yet gained independence.
"... however, his heart was always with us when we had to fight for freedom. We deeply appreciate his steadfast commitment to the Christian faith and democratic values, as well as his unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of unprovoked aggression from russia," Zelenskyy said.
He added that Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to strengthening world peace and protecting human rights.
"That is what I ask you to remember today: peace matters, and the world must remain united in confronting those who threaten these values," the President emphasized.
As a reminder, on Sunday, December 29, it became known that former US President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter died at the age of 100.
