“Like Ukraine, the EU should start negotiations from a strong position, and Europe’s strength lies in unity. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this during his participation in the meeting of the European Council.”, — write: www.president.gov.ua
“We all understand that in January, President Trump will increase efforts to end the war. It depends on us whether Europe will support him with a strong, united voice,” the Head of State said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on everyone present to work together so that China, India, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and other partners from the Global South not only respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but also use their influence on Russia when necessary.
“We ask Europe to pay more attention to the role of these countries, as they can push Russia to respect the principle of territorial integrity, which corresponds to their own interests and will contribute to the rapprochement of peace,” the President emphasized.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also noted that it is important for Europe to make a significant contribution to guaranteeing security. Within the framework of these guarantees, Ukraine supports France’s initiative regarding the military contingent in our country and calls on other partners to join it.
“Europe and America are capable of bringing an end to the war, a just and reliable peace. However, in order for the United States to apply maximum pressure, Europe must take a clear position,” the Head of State added.
Among the steps that will force Russia to recognize the need for peace, the President first named geopolitical certainty for Ukraine and Europe, which means inviting Ukraine to join NATO.
