Main messages of Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to Lithuania
Main theses of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Lithuania:
▫️Ukraine is grateful for European energy assistance — it is of great importance for supporting Ukrainians.
▫️Ukraine should be in the European Union. Our partners, including Lithuania and Poland, support Ukraine’s membership in the EU.
▫️At the trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi, a 20-point plan is being discussed. We have many complex issues in negotiations with russia, but the position on Donbas remains unchanged. The US is trying to find a compromise. But for this, all three parties must be ready for compromise.
▫️I hope that the US will not reduce pressure on russia.
▫️Europe should remain resolute and continue the sanctions pressure. russian tankers should be stopped, and schemes to circumvent sanctions should be blocked. This is the minimum basis for achieving peace.
▫️russian propaganda should be blocked. This is a difficult task, but it is necessary to do it.
▫️For Ukraine, security guarantees are primarily a bilateral agreement with the US. This document is 100% ready, we are waiting for a date and place of signing from the US.
▫️European security guarantees for Ukraine involve participation in the Coalition of the Willing and membership in the European Union.
▫️In our opinion, technically Ukraine will be ready to join the EU in 2027.
▫️It is important to fix a specific date for Ukraine’s accession to the EU in the agreement on ending the war, so that all parties, including the aggressor state, will adhere to these agreements later.
