Key messages of the President of Ukraine in Budapest
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed participants at the European Political Community Summit in Budapest.
Key points of the speech:
▫️ Concessions to putin are unacceptable for Ukraine and would be disastrous for all of Europe. There is no alternative to a strong Europe. And unity is important for strength.
▫️ Ukraine is not defending itself against russian rhetoric, but against real attacks. That is why it needs sufficient weapons, not just support for negotiations.
▫️ A robust diplomatic framework has been established that can push russia towards a just peace.
▫️ Europe as a whole needs strong leverage over putin. European leaders must stand together to protect common interests.
