Volodimir Zelenski blunt proposal to Europe. The president of Ukrainian has requested this Saturday the creation of European Armed Forces to defend the continent of Russia and force the United States to have Europe when making their geopolitical decisions.
“The time has come to create the Armed Forces of Europe,” said the Ukrainian President at the Munich Security Conference, in which he focused his speech on asking European leaders to make the necessary decisions for him to “The future of Europe depends only on Europeans“.
Zelenski has also explained that US president Donald Trump did not mention even the role of Europe in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia that promotes during the recent phone call, and has affirmed that Europe “”You must have a chair on the table”In which his future is decided.
“It is not more difficult than what we have done so far to stand up to Russia. It is not just about increasing defense spending. Money is needed but money, by itself, does not stop an enemy assault, “said Ukrainian President.
Zelenski has justified that “it is not about budgets, but to defend the home of one.” “I believe in Europe. And you must believe. And I ask you to act, for yourself, for Europe, by the peoples of Europe, for your nationsfor your homes, for your children and for our common future, “he has reasoned.
“But, If we do not, who can stop them? Let’s be frank: today we cannot rule out the possibility that the United States says ‘no’ to Europe in matters that threaten it, “he defended.
Ukraine entry into NATO
The Ukrainian president has also addressed the difficult conversations of incorporation of his country to NATO, in particular after the United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegsethwould give this week the adhesion of Ukraine to the Atlantic Alliance.
“I am not going to remove from the table the incorporation of Ukraine into NATO but, right now, the most influential NATO member seems to be Putin, because their whims seem to be blocking their decisions, Although it has been Ukraine who has stopped Russia’s feet, not a NATO country, nor NATO troops “he added.
To finish the distancing exhibited with the Trump administration during this Munich Conference, Zelenski has criticized once again that the opening of a direct dialogue between Trump and Putin It represents the possibility that the United States and Russia reach an agreement on Ukraine without the participation of kyiv, something that the president considers inadmissible.
“I will never accept any kind of agreement that is signed without our participation And this same rule must be applied to the rest of Europe, “Zelenski said before warning that Putin intends to turn Trump into a” more element of decoration for his performance, “hidden in a false opening to negotiate.
“Putin will try to make Trump look like a figurant”
In this sense, the Ukrainian President warned this Saturday to the president of the United States, Donald Trump, that the Kremlin leader, Vladimir Putin, tries to manipulate him to take him as a figurant to the Plaza Roja of Moscow on the occasion of the military parade on May 9 that remembers the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
“Putin will try that Trump is standing in the Red Square on May 9but not as a respected leader but as a sting for his show, ”Zelenski predicted.
