The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, ruled out any peace agreement with Russia that involves ceding national territory, in an interview released today by the British BBC.
“Any territorial commitment would make us a weaker state”affirmed the Ukrainian president, who declared that “Weapons are the only language Russia understands.”
“Commitment itself is not a problem. We are not afraid of it, there are millions of commitments in life. But the question is with whom. Compromises with (the Russian president, Vladimir Putin? No, because there is no trust.” Zelensky stressed.
In an interview on the occasion of the first year of the invasion of Ukraine ordered by the Kremlin, which will take place on the 24th, the president assured that Russia’s spring offensive has already begun.
“Russian attacks are already taking place from various directions”said Zelensky, who expressed his hope that Belarus “don’t join” to the war.
“If it does, we will fight and survive.” stressed the Ukrainian leader, who warned that allowing Moscow to use Belarusian territory to prepare attacks against Ukraine would be “a huge mistake.”
Zelensky reiterated his wish that kyiv continue to move closer to Europe, both in terms of its values and in terms of economic ties.
“That is the path we chose”declared, while demanding “security guarantees” and stressed that the “modern weapons” are the only ones capable of “speed up” The road to peace.
