President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine cannot afford a stalemate on the frontline.
He said this during a conversation with African journalists on Wednesday, November 15.
– “If this is a stalemate and a frozen conflict, we must honestly say that our children will fight. Or our grandchildren will fight. We have already lost a lot of people. Do we want to live like this, knowing that we will raise children who will definitely fight later?” he said.
Zelenskyy noted that if Russia is not put in its place, it will “come again.”
– “Be that as it may, the war must end. We want peace. Yes, this ending may be different, someone may like it, someone may not like it, but it is necessary. And it is necessary for the evil to suffer,” the Head of State emphasized.
According to him, the stalemate is a temporary weakness. Zelenskyy added: “If we want to end the war, we must end it.
Speaking about the Formula for Peace, the President said that “if Russia fulfills one point – respect for the territorial integrity and the UN Charter – it will withdraw its troops from our territory. This is the end of the war”.
The Head of State noted that this would not be the return of justice, because “something needs to be done with what they have done here.” He noted that this would not solve all the issues, but it would definitely be the end of the war.
On November 4, Zelenskyy commented on the words of Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyy about the “deadlock” at the front. The president said that “this is not a stalemate” and “this is not some kind of news.”
Recently, Zelenskyy and Zaluzhnyi named the areas of the Ukrainian front where the situation is the most difficult and hot.
