Key takeaways from Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s interview with Corriere della Sera
Key statements from the interview of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with the Italian outlet Corriere della Sera:
▫️ I believe that the strike on Iranian military targets was a sound decision. The Iranians produce a significant amount of weapons for russia.
▫️ putin speaks but does not act, demonstrating that he is a weak ally of the Iranians—just as was the case with Bashar al-Assad’s Syria.
▫️ I hope that the Iranian crisis will remain a limited operation and will not turn into a prolonged war.
▫️ Ukraine is ready to share its expertise in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with its allies—from the United Kingdom and the United States to Italy, France, and Germany.
▫️ Ukraine is Europe’s shield, and Europeans understand this well; they have supported Ukraine since the very beginning of the conflict.
▫️ No one has postponed the next trilateral meeting with the Americans, even after the strike on Iran.
▫️ Ukraine has security guarantees from the Americans, but they wish to formalize them only within the framework of an agreement with the russian federation.
▫️ Ukraine will never abandon Donbas and the 200,000 Ukrainians who live there.
▫️ Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has regained 460 square kilometers of territory.
▫️ putin has failed in his winter offensive. He targeted power plants during severe frosts, seeking to divide us and turn the civilian population against the army, but he did not succeed.
