“President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the territorial concessions of Ukraine, which Ukrainians cannot agree, would only cause Russian ruler Vladimir Putin to use the captured territories as a bridgehead to attack Europe, if he does not become strong.”, – WRITE: www.pravda.com.ua
Source: Zelensky in an interview with LE POINT, quotes “Ukrinform”
Direct language: “Some media outlets say that if Ukrainian soldiers leave the eastern regions of our country, then peace will be restored there. But this is not true. Putin seized Crimea to use it as a bridgehead for the south.
Advertising:
In 2014, he seized part of our country’s East to use it as a bridgehead for full occupation of these regions. If we will somehow go from the Donbass tomorrow, what does not happen, we will open Putin unprotected space, next to the one and a half -monks of Kharkiv. He would also capture the Dnieper industry center. This would open up new opportunities for him. ”
Details: According to Zelensky, Europeans should think on a different scale and imagine what would be if Putin would have succeeded in his original plan – to capture the whole of Ukraine.
Direct language: “If Putin managed to capture the whole country, he would use it as a bridgehead. He would do it or not, will depend on how strong Europe will be.
Details: The President recalled that the distance between Moscow and Paris is less than 3,000 kilometers.
Direct language: “But the rockets that Russia uses against Ukraine today have a radius of 2,500 kilometers. We ourselves have rockets with a radius of 3,000 kilometers. And the war stimulates technological development here in Europe, but also in Russia. With such technological development, no remote wars can no longer be.
Believe me, two years later the Russians will have many missiles – and we also have a radius of 5,000 kilometers. The sea will not protect anyone, the ocean will not protect anyone. In this respect, the weapon used by Russia today is not so different from nuclear delivery. ”
Details: He recalled that it will depend on the fate of Ukraine how much the war will affect Europe and where it will pass its eastern border.
Direct language: “If Ukraine does not stand, this border will be Poland or even Germany. Once Europe was divided in this way. The eastern border of Western Germany was the border of the Western world. Today it all depends on us how far we give the will of Russian ambitions.”
That preceded: Zelensky admitted that a scenario of South Korea could be implemented in Ukraine, when no real peace treaty was signed after the Korean War, but the country was able to reach prosperity.
