“And what would he [Путин] It is clear to whom he said: he so promoted his machine of war that he simply could not stop it, if not forcing him to change his goals, his personal goals to change fundamentally, ”said Zelensky. -It may seem to someone that exchanges of territories or an attempt to seduce Putin with the resumption of trade with America or the world, it would seem to stop this war. This is wrong”.
According to the president, the Russian war machine will stop only when “it will end fuel.”
Zelensky called on “finding a way to influence China” so that Beijing, in turn, affects Russia for the end of the war.
“Russia anyway will no longer cease to be a supplier of raw materials for China and politically dependent on China – they have chosen their way and went too much on it. But we need to find the answer on how to motivate China to embark on the path without war. And this also largely depends on the power of America and Europe, on the power of the Seven,” the head of the Ukrainian state emphasized.
Zelensky noted the importance of mandatory maintenance of the insulation of the Russian Federation.
“Sanctions work, in particular, for this. Tariffs should work, in particular, for this. Russian assets need to be confiscated, in particular, for this. It is important that the principality works – in political matters, in cultural issues, in sports, all of Russia on money – on Putin’s faith, that he will buy everything and everyone,” the president said.
He added that this is possible if the world really wants the war to end.
“To give Putin this or that land of Ukraine to stop the war-this will not happen. And this is not a solution. This is a pause. As after 2008 and Georgia. As after 2014 and Crimea and Donetsk. We need guaranteed completion of the war. We need guaranteed security for us, Ukraine. […] We need the guaranteed responsibility of Russia for what she did against Ukraine, Ukrainians, our Ukrainian children, ”Zelensky summed up.
