Main statements of Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to Estonia
Main statements of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a conversation with the media together with President of Estonia Alar Karis:
▫️A clear move in diplomacy is needed so that russia does not think that war can still bring it something.
▫️Ukrainian positions on the front are strong, and russia is losing over 30,000 killed and seriously wounded per month.
▫️The long-range impact on russian logistics, oil refining, and military production is strong.
▫️In occupied Crimea and some regions of russia, there is already a shortage of gasoline and no normal communication. We need to keep pressing and bring russia to the diplomatic track.
▫️Today, in the NB8 format, we will talk about how Europe should be in negotiations. Europe needs a real and strong voice in negotiations, and it should be among those who will make decisions.
▫️The USA is ready to actively join diplomatic processes.
▫️Air defense will be our priority as long as the war continues. Not a single day can be lost in protecting lives.
▫️We expect strong political decisions from the EU, which should be made this summer. Ukraine has done everything necessary to open all clusters in negotiations about future EU membership.
▫️It is necessary to continue supporting sanctions against russia and to introduce new relevant packages.
▫️The Baltic and North Seas should not be a free space for russia’s “shadow fleet”.
▫️All decisions that reduce the activity of russian tankers work not only for Ukraine, but also for all of Europe.
▫️Ukraine will continue to respond to any attacks from russia and apply its fair long-range sanctions.
