President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that, provided international unity and following the track of the Peace Summit, it is possible to try to end the hot stage of the Russo-Ukrainian war by the end of this year.
The Ukrainian leader said this in an interview with the BBC, Ukrinform reports.
He spoke about his intentions to draw up a plan to end the hot stage of the war, noting that, if the ultimate goal of the plan is achieved, it will be “really right and really powerful”. However, according to the president, success in this matter also depends on unity with foreign partners. He noted that after that, success will depend on pressure from partners on Russia – so that Moscow “agrees to sit down and think about ending the war.”
“This does not mean that all (Ukrainian – ed.) territories must be recaptured by force. I believe that the power of diplomacy can help,” Zelensky said, adding that weakening Russia on the battlefield would put Ukraine in a stronger position at the negotiating table.
According to the Ukrainian president, by exerting pressure on Russia, it would be possible to agree on a settlement through diplomacy.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, Zelensky said that there is not a single person in the world who can force Ukraine to concede its territories to Russia in order to end the war as soon as possible.
乌克兰通讯社报道，泽连斯基总统在接受英国广播公司采访时表示，只要国际社会团结一致，遵循和平峰会的轨迹，就有可能在今年年底前结束俄乌战争的热战阶段。
他谈到了制定结束战争热战阶段计划的意图，并指出，如果该计划的最终目标得以实现，这将“非常正确，非常有力”。然而，总统表示，这件事的成功还取决于与外国伙伴的团结。他指出，此后，成功将取决于合作伙伴对俄罗斯施加压力——使莫斯科“同意坐下来思考结束战争”。
泽连斯基表示：“这并不意味着必须用武力夺回所有（乌克兰）领土。我相信外交的力量可以有所帮助。”他补充说，削弱俄罗斯在战场上的力量将使乌克兰在谈判桌上占据更有利的地位。
乌克兰总统表示，通过向俄罗斯施加压力，有可能通过外交手段达成解决方案。
据乌克兰通讯社此前报道，泽连斯基称，世界上没有任何一个人能够迫使乌克兰将领土割让给俄罗斯，以尽快结束战争。
