๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ In the last 1000 days, the Russians have captured only 1% of Ukraine, suffering very heavy losses among their army, โ Yermak in an interview with Corriere della Sera
"We will definitely have allied troops on our land. More than three countries are ready to send soldiers, but I do not want to say which ones exactly. All this needs to be coordinated with the USA to maintain the unity of our front and develop some common rules of engagement, โ Head of the Office of the President Yermak
"We do not need and do not trust Russian guarantees. Moscow still has not explained to us why back in 2014 it violated the guarantees signed in the Budapest Memorandum two decades ago."
Other statements by the Head of the Office of the President:
๐นAbout a possible meeting between Zelensky and Putin: I hope that first there will be a bilateral summit between Zelensky and Putin, and then a trilateral one involving Trump.
๐นAbout the place of negotiations: Geneva, Istanbul, the Vatican, Saudi Arabia are being considered. Moscow was proposed by the Russians, but we did not discuss it. Budapest was mentioned but is not a priority.
๐นAbout the timing: We want the meeting to take place as soon as possible after negotiations with Trump. Zelensky is ready to end the war, although the aggression was started by Russia.
๐นAbout security guarantees: We do not trust Russian guarantees after the violation of the Budapest Memorandum. We trust only the USA, Europe, and the "Coalition of the Willing."
๐นAbout the deployment of allied troops: More than three countries are ready to send troops to Ukraine, but I will not name them. Everything is coordinated with the USA for unity of the front.
๐นAbout American support: Trump confirmed the participation of the USA in our security guarantees. From tonight, our generals are restoring contacts with the Pentagon.
๐นAbout Russia's position: Putin cannot dictate terms to us. We choose our allies and the way of defense ourselves.
๐นAbout Italian support: We appreciate Meloni's idea to apply NATO Article 5 for the protection of Ukraine, which Trump supported. Italy is actively involved in our defense.
๐นAbout territorial issues: Zelensky will discuss territories with Putin based on the current front line. We do not give up our lands but realistically assess the situation.
๐นAbout the war and Ukraine's position: In 11 years of war, we control over 25% of Donbas. Russia has captured only 1% of Ukraine in 1000 days with huge losses. We do not accept ultimatums and can continue the fight.
๐นAbout trust in Trump: I believe in the USA and their president. Trump is the first who makes Putin afraid and agree to a summit with us.
๐นAbout Putin's change of position: He realized that he cannot make Ukraine a second Belarus. Our resilience and cooperation with the EU and Trump force him to be more realistic.
๐นAbout China's role: Beijing could restrain Russia but is not yet involved in preparing peace negotiations. I hope this will change.
