The main points from the interview of the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy to journalists from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan:
The Russian breakthrough in the direction of Kharkiv ended in military casualties of 1 to 8. One Ukrainian for eight Russians.
First of all, the Baltic countries are under attack – Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia. In these countries you can try to test NATO’s reaction to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The day before yesterday this already happened, they [Russia] moved the buoys, there was a crossing of sea borders. There was no reaction, accordingly, because the NATO countries are very, very careful. And Russia needs this.
As for the alliance – military and strategic – with Russia, then none of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan can have a strategic alliance with Putin. The countries are all under threat 100%. Today, the CSTO and other structures are an opportunity to influence your countries. Your countries today do not influence the policies of the Kremlin and Russia.
“I asked Biden and the EU to impose sanctions against the Kremlin, Putin, his entourage, and Russian energy before the invasion, so that he knew that it would hurt. But no one heard us. Everyone said no: first the Russians must take a step, and then we will take the corresponding steps. And what’s the result? As a result, great human losses are irreparable”, — Zelenskyy.
We have the most inadequate enemy that could be imagined in 100 years.
“China promised security to independent Ukraine in the Budapest Memorandum, based on the fact that Ukraine was giving away nuclear weapons. If Ukraine had nuclear weapons, would Russia attack us? No. So why talk about balance between our countries? China must protect Ukraine”, — Zelenskyy.
About the peace summit. The first point is nuclear energy security. We have an occupied nuclear power plant, 6 units, this could be six Chernobyls. Ukrainian management and our technicians work there, and the Russians are in charge. The children of Ukrainians are now in the Russian Federation, they are hostages. That’s why our Ukrainians plow there like slaves in galleys. Point two is food security. Everyone is interested here. The third point is the exchange of all for all and the return of children whom Russia forcibly took to its territory.
Russia has always wanted a division of the world. And only in this way can Putin escape from the political and economic isolation of the Russian Federation. The results of conflicts are not important to him, the process is important to him. When a process means instability, when a process means people divide in any case.
“Temporary suspension of fire is not possible (!). We have already personally agreed on this with Putin in Normandy. We agreed, and there were no massacres, yes. Our troops stood along the contact line; they were ordered not to shoot. Artillery, heavy weapons – no one fired. 20-30 Russian snipers came out and “trained” for a week. That is, they simply continued to kill our people” — Zelenskyy.
The statements of the illegitimate President of the Russian Federation regarding the legitimacy of the President of Ukraine are boring and uninteresting.
