Main theses of Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to Germany
Key statements by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy During his meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz:
▫️ Ukraine and Germany are working together to bring peace closer and provide more security for our people. Germany is one of the leaders in supporting Ukraine and the rules-based international order.
▫️ The world has been waiting for over a week for a memorandum from russia. So far, they have offered nothing new and continue to push their ultimatums into the information space.
▫️ Ukraine believes that a ceasefire should have no preconditions.
▫️ russia must abandon its desire to kill people. Pressure on russia must be increased. Dragging out the war should become painful for russia.
▫️ Germany supports new sanctions against russia.
▫️ We have reached very important agreements with Germany on air defense and investment in Ukrainian production — especially in weapons and drones.
▫️ If Ukraine is not present at the NATO summit, it will be a victory for putin — not over Ukraine, but over NATO.
▫️ We want to do everything to make the world force russia to stop the war. Ukraine is open to any format of negotiations.
▫️ We all understand that russia’s economy has begun to feel the sanctions. Their army will start to feel them next year.
▫️ russia is not moving toward a ceasefire. A strong sanctions package from the U.S. is urgently needed.
