LAST MINUTE | ZELENSKY: FOR US TO SEAT AT THE TABLE…
Zelenskiy said that the attacks must be stopped so that the ceasefire talks can be taken seriously, and said, “A total ceasefire is needed for us to sit at the negotiating table.”
“If Russia does this, it means it is ready for peace. Otherwise, negotiations would just be a waste of time,” Zelenskiy said, adding that they will see if Russia is ready for this.
Ukrainian leader Zelensky asked NATO for security guarantees against Russia, stating that the situation is very serious. Zelensky also emphasized that they were left alone against the Russians.
“CONDITION IS VERY SERIOUS”
Zelensky used the following statements in his statements:
“If our partners aren’t ready to take Ukraine into NATO because ‘Russia doesn’t want Ukraine in NATO,’ they should work on joint security guarantees to Ukraine. The situation is very serious, I’m not in a movie right now. I’m not iconic, it’s iconic Ukraine. Ukraine is the heart of Europe and I think Europe sees Ukraine as special for this world.
“IF UKRAINE GOES…”
I’ve spoken to President Biden many times. Thank you for your support, but they didn’t hear me. I told them that Ukraine would fight more than anyone else, but we were left alone against Russia. If Ukraine falls, all these troops will be on the borders of your country, on the borders of NATO members.”
