«It is with profound sadness that Ukraine learnt about the terrorist attack that took place at Garissa University.

Being the victim of the terrorism itself, Ukraine shares deep pain and sorrow and testifies its solidarity with the Kenyan people.

Crimes against students and young generation are crimes against the progress and the future.

No reasons – political, ethnic or religious – can be accepted as an excuse for those who deprive a person of life.

On behalf of the people of Ukraine I extend my sincere condolences to the families of those killed as a result of this tragedy and wish a speedy recovery to those affected by the attack.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of our support in this difficult for your country time.»

 

Petro POROSHENKO
