Sanctions must remain in force until Russia begins to withdraw troops from our territories and compensate for the damage caused by its aggression, — Zelenskyy.
The Ukrainian president said this at a joint press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in Oslo.
We need to increase pressure on the Russian Federation so that Putin stops manipulating, — Zelenskyy
We need to increase pressure on the Russian Federation so that Putin stops manipulating and takes concrete steps, in particular, one of the first such steps should be silence. Now we are talking with the United States and other partners that this should be silence in the sky, maybe an end to strikes on the energy sector, — Volodymyr Zelenskyу noted.
Norway fully supports Ukraine’s efforts to end the fire, says Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
“We fully support your ongoing efforts to end the fire and then negotiate a fair, just and lasting peace. Ukraine should be in the best position to handle such an end to this conflict, Ukraine should have a seat at the table when these decisions are made,” said Jonas Gahr Støre.
If the Americans want to take the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP from the Russians and modernize it, this can be discussed, but there is no talk of transferring the station to ownership, – Zelenskyy.
The President of Ukraine stated this at a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre in Oslo.
He also added that all nuclear power plants belong to the people of Ukraine, this is not private property.
Norway triples military aid to Ukraine to $8 billion, — Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The funds will be spent on artillery, ammunition, drones, as well as investments in the creation of a Ukrainian production base.
This is a partnership that we work on every day, and you have our full support in this fight, — he noted.
Technical teams of Ukraine and the United States will meet on March 24 in Saudi Arabia — Zelenskyy.
We discussed with President Trump the issue of a ceasefire regarding energy. Ukraine will prepare a list of civilian infrastructure facilities, — Zelenskyy noted during a press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in Oslo.
The United States does not support Ukraine’s accession to NATO yet, – Zelenskyy.
“The United States, as a major ally in NATO, does not support Ukraine’s membership in NATO. This is true today. I believe that you can’t just give this to Russians.
I think it’s a big gift that takes this topic off the table. I think it’s wrong,” the Ukrainian president added.
