Key takeaways from Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s speech in Munich
Key remarks from Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s speech at the Munich Security Conference
▫️ Europe needs its own armed forces – the Army of Europe, the time has come.
▫️ Without the Ukrainian army, European armies alone will not be enough to stop Russia.
▫️ Ukraine will never accept agreements made behind our backs. The same should apply to the whole of Europe.
▫️ Europe needs one voice, not a dozen separate voices.
▫️ On the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, all European leaders and all of Ukraine’s key partners could gather in Kyiv and online. This meeting should provide a clear vision of the next steps towards peace.
▫️ The matter of Ukraine’s membership in NATO will not be removed from the agenda.
▫️ We cannot just agree to a ceasefire without real security guarantees, without pressure on Russia, without deterring Russia.
▫️ Putin is lying. He is predictable and weak. We have to take advantage of it – now, not later.
