This was stated by Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview for NBC News.
Ukraine’s accession to NATO could pave the way for diplomatic restoration of the country’s territorial integrity, Zelenskyy said.
More key points from the interview:
- The date of the meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump is still unknown, but this issue was discussed during a telephone conversation between the presidents. The meeting may take place after the visit of US Special Representative Keith Kellogg to Ukraine. The teams are working on its preparation.
- The Ukrainian people will never accept any decisions by the US and Russia if Ukraine is not involved in them. Four parties should be sitting at the negotiating table – Ukraine, the US, Europe and Russia.
Ukraine will seek a diplomatic way to return the occupied territories, but today the most important thing is people, – Zelenskyy.
- Trump scared Putin, and there is a chance that the US President will really be able to push Putin towards peace talks.
- There may be a larger-scale Russian invasion of other European countries. Putin will wage war against NATO.
- Regarding rare earth resources – help us protect them, and we will earn money on this together.
- Russia is using the pause in the war as a tactical move. Currently, Moscow mobilizes about 45 thousand people monthly, but they are not sufficiently trained, so they suffer significant losses in battle.
- If the US leaves NATO, Europe will be left without sufficient forces to contain the Russian Federation, which could lead to the occupation of vulnerable countries.
- Due to losses at the front, Putin wants to stop the fire in order to prepare for a new offensive. I am sure of it.
