Key points from the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the second day of the Munich Security Conference.
- I told Trump that Putin is afraid of him. And Trump heard me. Now Putin knows this too.
- One of the reasons for the loss of 4,000 km² of Ukrainian territory is the delay in assistance from the U.S.
- Ukraine’s plan is to achieve peace in 2025.
- Putin cannot provide real security guarantees. Not only because he is a pathological liar, but also because Russia, in its current state, needs war to maintain power.
- Right now, the most influential NATO member seems to be Putin, as his whims can block decisions within the Alliance. And this is despite the fact that it is the Ukrainian army that has stopped Russia.
- Putin wants negotiations with America one-on-one, but we don’t need that. Ukraine will never agree to deals made behind our backs, without our participation.
- This year, Moscow plans to create 15 new divisions, with a total of 150,000 soldiers — more than the national armies of most European countries.
- I am ready to talk about elections, but Ukrainians do not want this. Right now, we are mobilized, and it is important to maintain unity within the country. It’s not about me, it’s about the future of our country. If someone doesn’t like it, they can choose another citizenship.
- The drone that hit the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant carried at least 50 kg of explosives.
- Last year, Ukraine produced 1.5 million drones of various types and is currently the world leader in the fight against UAVs.
- Ukraine is preparing a project to expand the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant with the involvement of American business, specifically Westinghouse, which will enhance the energy security not only of the country but also of all Europe.
- Work is underway to organize a meeting of partners in Kyiv and online on February 24, the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
- This summer, Russia plans to send troops to Belarus under the pretext of “military exercises.”
