Key messages from the interview of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy with the British podcast The Rest is Politics:<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f vladimir putin has realized he cannot fully occupy Ukraine, so his current goal is to buy time for regrouping. He seeks to force Ukraine out of Donbas through diplomatic means, using this as a pause to prepare for a new offensive.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Any ceasefire without long-term guarantees will only lead to another tragedy.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f russia is providing Iran with satellite intelligence on energy and military facilities in Israel and across the Middle East. All experience gained by russia in the war against Ukraine is being transferred to the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons without receiving a real \u201csecurity umbrella,\u201d which NATO membership could have provided.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f russia is a massive war machine that profits from bloodshed. It is difficult for it to stop, as halting production would harm the business interests of elites, so it will always seek new targets for aggression.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f putin\u2019s real goal is not 5\u20136 thousand square kilometers of territory, but the complete destruction of Ukrainian statehood and further advancement into Europe.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Europe\u2019s security should be based on a strategic partnership between the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Turkey, and Norway. The combined capabilities of these countries would be stronger than any russian threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
