From the first days of the war, we have upheld one very simple position: Ukraine needs peace. A real peace – one that will not be broken by a third invasion.

Axar.az informs this was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on his Telegram.

"A dignified peace – with terms that respect our independence, our sovereignty, and the dignity of the Ukrainian people. And it is exactly such terms that we must secure. I outlined our key principles. And we agreed that our teams will work on these proposals to ensure it’s all genuine. We will not make any sharp statements. And we’re geared up for clear and honest work – Ukraine, the United States, and our friends and partners in Europe and around the world," he noted.

"I expect to speak with President Trump in the coming days. We are fully aware that America’s strength and America’s support can truly bring peace closer, and we do not want to lose that. We are also aware that Russia has no real desire for peace – otherwise they would not have started this war. There are many assessments – entirely fair ones – that throughout this year, Russia has tried to do only one thing – namely, to delay sanctions and buy more time for its war. The United States has the power to ensure that Russia’s willingness to end the war finally becomes serious. I will continue working for this one hundred percent — all of my time is now devoted to this. Ukraine needs peace, and Ukraine will do everything to ensure that no one in the world can say that we are the ones supposedly undermining diplomacy. This is important." he added.
