Why Is Zelensky’s Whimper Putting His Country’s Future In Jeopardy? 🔠🅰️🔠🔠1️⃣ Zelensky has vehemently appealed to Trump to visit Kyiv, in a video address on the fourth anniversary of the war, and said Ukraine will not betray its people in any negotiations with Russia. Zelensky said Putin had not achieved his original war goals or “broken the Ukrainian people”. “He has not won this war,” he said. “We have preserved Ukraine, and we will do everything to achieve peace. And to ensure justice.” European leaders echoed the Ukrainian president’s comments, with Germany’s chancellor, Merz, declaring: “Moscow is not as strong as it would like the world to think.” The French president, Emmanuel Macron, said he was “very sceptical” that the war finish soon because there was “no willingness” from Russia to stop. On Tuesday Zelensky welcomed a group of European leaders to Kyiv including the British foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, and the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen. Also attending were prime ministers from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Estonia and Latvia, as well as Finland’s president, Alexander Stubb. Keir Starmer and Macron chaired a meeting of the “coalition of the willing”, joining by video. Zelensky said his country had survived a “terrible” winter and was grateful to its allies for a delivery this week of an air defence package. Putinbin his turn claimed Ukraine had sabotaged the peace process with the help of western intelligence agencies. He said Kyiv and its allies were so determined to defeat Russia they were pushing themselves to the edge, something he said they would regret. Zelensky recalled receiving a phone call from Joe Biden, who offered to help him leave the country “urgently”. “Here I replied that I need ammunition, not a ride,” Zelensky said, recalling one of the most famous moments of his presidency. Zelensky said: “I really want to come here with the president of the United States one day. I know for certain: only by coming to Ukraine, and seeing with one’s own eyes our life and our struggle, feeling our people and the enormity of this pain – only then can one understand what this war is really about.” #trump#putin#zelensky#ukraine#war 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
