Speaking in Munich, Volodymyr Zelenskyy also called for a clear date for his country to be allowed to join the EU
Ukraine wants security guarantees for a minimum of 20 years from the US before it can sign a peace deal with dignity, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ahead of talks with Russia and the US scheduled for next week.
Speaking in Munich on Saturday, he also called for a clear date for Ukraine to be allowed to join the EU. Some EU officials have put the date as early as 2027.
Speaking to the annual Munich security summit, Ukraine’s president said he hoped “the trilateral meetings next week will be serious, substantive, helpful for all of us but, honestly, sometimes it feels like the sides are talking about completely different things”.
“The Americans often return to the topic of concessions and too often those concessions are discussed only in the context of Ukraine, not Russia,” he added.
Yeah… I don’t really want to see US infantry on the ground in Ukraine, but I would have really liked to see the US enforce a no-fly zone over contested areas and maybe also bomb the shit out of Russian forces in Ukraine from the air.
Hitting targets inside Russia could be politically nonviable, as it probably violates some international laws, but with Ukraine’s permission, they could absolutely hit anything they wanted inside Ukrainian territory.
