Key points from President Zelenskyy’s interview with Fox News
The main statements of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during an interview with FOX News:
▫️ Ukraine is grateful to the Americans for their support. The US has helped Ukraine a lot during the three years of full-scale invasion.
▫️ Ukraine and the United States are strategic partners, so it is important to be honest and understand each other.
▫️ Ukrainians are fighting a battle for freedom, and we should be on the same side as the US.
▫️ We need a just and lasting peace. You can’t just tell Ukrainians: «Stop». No one will stop, because everyone is afraid that tomorrow Putin will return. As Reagan said, «peace is not the absence of war».
▫️ Ukraine is ready to engage in dialogue with Russia. The US and Europe should also take part in these talks.
▫️ NATO is the fastest way to guarantee Ukraine’s security. If not all countries support it, we can build NATO in Ukraine. Europe is ready for this, but it wants a strong ally like the US.
▫️ The Minerals Agreement could be a step towards peace. Ukraine is ready to sign it, but there should be an understanding of what part of the security guarantees this agreement will take.
▫️ If there are doubts about the use of the assistance provided, Ukraine is open to any verification.
