Zelenskyy: We Are Working to Ensure That There Will Be No Third Russian Invasion
President stated this during joint press conference with President of France Emmanuel Macron
The Gaze reports on it according to the President's official site.
“These are special days, when a great deal can truly change – and change every single day. Yesterday, the Ukrainian delegation held negotiations in the United States. Tomorrow, as we all already know, the Envoy of the President of the United States will be in Russia. We are making every effort to bring this war to an end – and it must be ended with dignity,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
“Although at times it may seem that everybody is on their own – the United States, Europe – we all equally need security and normal economic development, believe me. And that is our shared interest. And therefore our shared interest is to live without war,” the President stressed.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Russia must end the war it alone started, and the joint actions of partners contribute to this.
Zelenskyy stressed that Russia carries out such strikes every day. It is important to ensure effective protection and reliable security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent a third Russian invasion.
The President of Ukraine underscored that war must not become a profitable venture, and this is precisely why there are principled stances on sanctions, accountability for war crimes, the legal status of Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russian forces, Russian assets, and the obligation of reconstruction.
“The stronger the international community’s shared positions on these points, the more reliable and lasting peace will be. And this depends not only on Ukraine – it depends on our unified position in Europe and on the position of the United States. It determines not only when this war will end, but also how long the next war will not pose a threat.
Principled positions now, in preparing the relevant agreement, are what will ensure long-term peace after this war,” Zelenskyy concluded.
As the Gaze reported earlier Zelenskiy says Ukraine will obtain 100 French-made Rafale warplanes.
