According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, Ukraine is financially secure for the next year, but not strong enough for certain diplomatic steps.

Details: The President noted that the partners have taken important steps to strengthen the Ukrainian economy, recalling the Ukraine Facility program, and also that the United States has transferred $20 billion to the World Bank fund for Ukraine.
Direct speech Zelenskyi: “We are financially secure for next year. I believe that this also strengthens Ukraine. But not everything has been done to say that Ukraine is strong for certain diplomatic steps.”
Details: He emphasized that Ukraine will do everything “so that next year we can be strong and already move to diplomacy.”
Direct speech Zelenskyi: “To be honest, I don’t believe that Putin wants the war to end, so we will figure it out. In any case, from our side, we will do everything to end this war fairly for us, for Ukraine.”
What preceded: Zelenskyi said that Ukraine does not yet have the strength to retake the occupied Crimea and part of Donbas, which Russia “physically” controls, but the West can influence the ruler of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to force him to sit down at the negotiating table.
In November, Zelensky stated that Ukraine cannot lose tens of thousands of people in order to return Crimea – it can be returned through diplomatic means.
