Even Antonio Costa would like to see more effort from the Chinese. “Trump is ready to give postwar security guarantees” to Ukraine, says Zelenskyy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday before the UN Security Council China could, if he wanted to force Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
“Without China, Russia do [Presidente russo, Vladimir] Putin is nothing. However, China often remains silent and distant instead of acting for peace, ”accused the Ukrainian leader.
Moments earlier, during the general assembly, the US president also accused China-and India-of being the main supporters of Moscow in the conflict, through the purchase of oil. They are “the main financiers of the Russian war machine,” said Trump.
Even António Costa, president of the European Council, would like to see China to contribute to a fair and lasting peace in Ukraine, said in the same advice.
Zelenskyy once again greeted US support to his country, noting that Kiev had “accepted all the US president’s proposals in favor of a ceasefire and discussions with Russia to establish peace.”
“Moscow fears the United States and always pay attention to them,” said Zelenskyy, who said he expected from next week’s meeting in New York with US homologist Donald Trump, a clear support for safety guarantees for Ukraine.
Ukraine can win, says Trump
Trump wrote later on social networks that Kiev could win the war against Russia. He even said that Kiev could “recover his territory in his original form and perhaps even go further.”
“I believe that Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and regain all Ukraine back to its original form. With time, patience and financial support of Europe and, in particular, the original borders from which this war began are an option,” Trump wrote in his social network social network.
Trump was also asked about the state of negotiations To end the war in Ukraine and was asked if he still trusts Russian President Vladimir Putin, to which he responded with a new deadline. “I will inform you within a month,” replied Trump.
As Trump did, the Ukrainian President also regretted the UN incapacity To influence the course of war: “This organization now has less influence and often lacks real decision making on fundamental issues,” he argued.
“The UN is not only solving the problems it should – too often, is actually creating new problems,” said Trump. “The United Nations are funding an attack on Western countries and their borders.”
“We will continue to provide weapons to the NATO so that it does what they do well with them,” closed the US President.
Trump also asked European countries to stop buying Russian oil immediately.
The Republican leader threatened to impose harsh sanctions on Russia if the conflict continues, although it is not the first time it has been threatened with this genre and has always postponed the application of these sanctions.
“If Russia is not ready to close an agreement to end the war, the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of tariffs,” Trump warned.
“We have a lot of respect for the way Ukraine is fighting,” Trump said shortly before his meeting with Zelensky.
