Ukraine will agree to a ceasefire under two conditions. If there will be serious security guarantees and weapons.
This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyi in an interview with American journalist Lex Friedman.
He noted that if US President-elect Donald Trump goes for a ceasefire without serious security guarantees for Ukraine, it will give Russian dictator Volodymyr Putin an opportunity to end the occupation of Ukraine.
“He is afraid of Trump today, and as soon as Trump goes for a ceasefire without serious security guarantees for Ukraine, he will give Putin an opportunity, because in Putin’s mind it is to quarrel with Trump and end the occupation of Ukraine. That’s why I told you – don’t wait for Putin’s wishes, force him to stop the war,” Zelenskyy explained.
The President noted that NATO can be a guarantee of security for Ukraine as a quick step. And he can talk to Donald Trump about it.
“Yes, we can talk about it with Trump. In my opinion, we can talk about security guarantees, but as a quick step. A quick step is NATO. Yes, I understand Trump’s feelings. Yes, NATO means strong security guarantees for all people. Part of security guarantees,” the head of state said.
Another component, according to Zelenskyi, should be weapons before the ceasefire. It should remain so that history does not repeat itself, as it was during the presidency of Joe Biden in the United States. At the same time, the president emphasized that in the event of a ceasefire, weapons will not be used.
“The second part is a weapon. We will not use it if there is a ceasefire, but it must remain. Not like it used to be. I don’t want a repeat of what happened with Biden. Sanctions now, weapons now – and then we’ll see if they start. Of course, we will be glad if you give even more and stand shoulder to shoulder with us,” Zelenskyy summed up.
Earlier, President Zelensky expressed confidence that Trump can help Ukraine stop Putin.
US President-elect Donald Trump made a secret promise to European leaders. He made it clear that he would continue to support Kyiv after returning to the White House.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that the first negotiations on the end of the war will be with the newly elected President Donald Trump. Only after that can negotiations with Russia begin.
