Analyst Zarembo at LMF: Ukraine Can Be Invincible Even Without US Support
Kateryna Zarembo, an associate senior analyst at the New Europe Center and a paramedic with the Hospitallers Medical Battalion, is confident that Ukraine can cope with the war against Russia without the support of the United States, and that if it is assisted by the so-called ‘coalition of the willing’, it will be insurmountable.
The Gaze reports on this with reference to Zarembo's speech at the Lviv Media Forum, one of the largest media conferences in Central and Eastern Europe.
"I can assure you that Ukraine will continue to fight and defend itself, even if the US stops supporting it altogether. And if we do it with partners, even at the level of a ‘coalition of the willing’, we will be invincible," insists Kateryna.
The analyst reminded that the history of Ukraine is ‘a continuous story of how no one believed in us, but we succeeded’. Providing Ukraine with Patriot air defence systems, ATACMS missiles and F-16 fighter jets, stopping Nord Stream, freezing Russian assets, becoming a candidate for the European Union - all of this seemed impossible to Ukrainians a few years ago, and 40 years ago, even the idea of an independent Ukraine seemed like a utopia to many people - only a handful of dreamers abroad believed in it.
"I suggest you believe that the de-occupation of Ukraine, de-imperialisation and disarmament of Russia, and bringing Russians to justice for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are possible. And where there is a will, there is a way," Kateryna Zarembo summed up.
