Direct speech: “No matter what. Let all the allies of the world unite – we still do not recognize the occupied territories. This is impossible. We do not legally recognize them. For us, they will always remain occupied territories until we return there.”
Details: The President emphasized that the dialogue with Russia should take place only from a position of strength, since any attempt to treat the aggressor as an equal is a defeat for Ukraine.
Direct speech: “Putin cannot be subjectivized in this story. He violated everything. He is guilty and must realize it. But if he cannot be stopped, if we talk to him on an equal footing, it is a loss for Ukraine.”
Details: Zelenskyi separately noted that the end of the active phase of the war is the main priority for the country:
Direct speech: “We must find all the possibilities to end the hot stage of the war. This is the number one issue. There can be many negotiations, but the main thing is to stop the active phase. This is the number one security guarantee.”
