Ten výrok je vytrhnutý z kontextu a zámerne odsekol časť reči. Porošenko hovoril opak, že vojensky konflikt vyhrať nejde ale ak ekonomicky predbehnú Donbas tak miestny budú chcieť do prozápadnej ukrajiny a vyhrajú ho mierovou cestou.
Anglický citát z Odeskej reči aj so zdrojom:
“And we win together by means of peace! Because we have jobs, and they have not. We have pensions, and they have not. We have support of children and pensioners, they have not. Our children would go to kindergartens and schools, theirs would be sitting in cellars. Because they do not know anything how to do! That’s how we are going to win this war. Because wars are won in minds, and not on the combat fields! They do not know this, but I know. And I have your support, I need it very much in order we win this war without perished Ukrainians, without perished inhabitants of Odesa.”
