Zelensky said Putin has made no gains in Donetsk Oblast in 12 years and has failed to capture it. He called for real negotiations to begin from the current front line, stressing that Putin’s demands cannot be imposed by force.
Zelensky said a ceasefire and quick work on a final agreement are needed. He emphasized that only national leaders should discuss territorial issues, but Russia shows no interest in a three-way meeting.
Ukraine’s best security guarantee is a strong army, and EU membership is also seen as part of security guarantees. Zelensky added there should be no separation between Ukraine and Moldova in the EU integration process, as this would signal a lack of unity in Europe.
