President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on February 14 at the Munich Security Conference that a plan to end the war with Russia should be discussed and supported between Ukraine, the United States, and European countries.
Points of attention
- President Zelenskyy advocates for a plan to end the war with Russia through discussions with Ukraine, the US, and Europe.
- European countries play a pivotal role in providing security guarantees crucial for Ukraine's future.
- Zelenskyy emphasizes the need for firm support from the United States rather than seeking mediation between Ukraine and Russia.
A plan to end the war must be discussed between Ukraine, the US and Europe
Zelenskyy noted that the role of European countries is important, as it concerns security guarantees, as "the main point in any document on the cessation of war."
Ukraine is already part of Europe and will be an equal part of the European Union. Europe's voice is very important to us. They are equal partners.

President of Ukraine
He also added that there is no need to seek mediation between Ukraine and Russia and stressed that Ukraine needs "firm support" from the United States.
There is no need to seek mediation between Ukraine and Putin. We need the firm support of a strong country — the United States — and a strong President Trump. We need his support and to be on our side. I do not believe that there can be anything between us (Ukraine and the Russian Federation — ed.) in the middle. Because it is not two countries that are at war with each other. And Russia brought war to our land, and I believe that we are defending it worthily.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is ready to negotiate with illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin only after he agrees with Europe and the United States on a plan to end the war.
I will meet only with one Russian — Putin. Only after we have a common plan with Trump, Europe... and we sit down with Putin and stop the war. Only then am I ready to meet.
