Wołodymyr Zelanski in his post noted that “we all share the strong desire for a quick and reliable ending of this war. And peace must be lasting.” “Not like years ago, when Ukraine was forced to give Crimea and part of our East – part of Donbass – and Putin simply used it as a trampoline for a new attack. Or when Ukraine received so -called security guarantees in 1994, but they did not work” – he added.

“Of course, Crimea should not be given away, just as Ukrainians did not give away Kiev, Odessa or Kharkov after 2022. Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for their independence. Now our soldiers are successful in the Dononian and Sumski districts,” says Wołodymyr Zelnski.
He also noted that he was convinced of the defense of Ukraine and effective security guarantee. “Our nation will always be grateful to President Trump, everyone in America, every partner and ally for their support and invaluable help,” he added.
“Russia must end the war, which it began. And I hope that our common strength with America, with our European friends, will force Russia to real peace,” he said.
