Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Europe “to act for his own property” this Saturday, February 15 and to have “his own armed forces” to defend himself against Russia, when the Trump administration maintains the doubt about the involvement of the United States in the security of the continent.
“From now on, things will be different and Europe needs to adapt to this […] I believe in Europe […] And I urge you to act for your own property, “he said at the Munich security conference.” America will not offer (safety) guarantees unless the own guarantees of ‘Europe are not solid, “he insisted in a speech in English, before an exchange of questions and answers.
The Ukrainian president also enjoined Europe to have “a unified foreign policy” and “coordinated” so that “the end of the war (in Ukraine) is our first common success”. “No decisions on Ukraine without Ukraine, no decisions on Europe without Europe,” continued Volodymyr Zelensky, believing that “if we are excluded from negotiations concerning our own future, then we all lose” .
Russia “does not want peace”
He once again accused Russia of having struck Friday with a drone the ark of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. An attack which shows, according to him, that Russia “does not want peace” and “does not prepare for dialogue”. Russian president Vladimir “Putin cannot offer real security guarantees, not only because he is a liar, but because Russia in his current state needs war to keep power,” added the leader Ukrainian.
A few hours earlier, Olaf Scholz assured that “peace only exists” if Ukraine’s sovereignty is assured “. According to the Chancellor, who spoke before the Munich security conference, Germany will never “never” support an “imposed peace” in kyiv. Olaf Scholz also spoke out against a “decoupling European and American security”.
The subject also worries Volodymyr Zelensky. In an interview with the NBC channel, shortly after his meeting with the American vice-president JD Vance, the Ukrainian president said that kyiv would have “little chance of surviving without the support of the United States”.
