Zelenskyy says “strong Ukraine” is foundation for talks with Russia and expects support from Trump

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects support from US President-elect Donald Trump in case of talks between Kyiv and Moscow regarding the war and he described a "strong Ukraine" as the foundation of those talks. Source: Zelenskyy in an interview with Ukrainian Radio Details: The main condition, according to Zelenskyy, is a "strong Ukraine", whether on the battlefield or in diplomacy.

He also said support for values and justice will be support for Ukraine and neutrality on the part of the mediator is not possible in this case.

Quote: "That Ukraine will not face Russia alone, under the condition that Ukraine is strong. What kind of talks can we have with a murderer? If we talk to Putin and we are in the current situation, not strengthened, it's a losing status for Ukraine from the very beginning.

This is not about a just peace. Certainly, there is nothing to do at those talks if you are in a weak situation. Trump's position is very important and the US attitude towards Ukraine is also crucial.

They are on Ukraine's side today. This is important...

You can't speak abstractly, 'I'm a mediator, so I cannot choose one side or the other'. This cannot happen when it's about cases where international law was violated.

The US must maintain its position of supporting Ukraine about Russia being the aggressor. This status must remain. Then we also have to think.

This is one of the key points to consider from the very beginning, which is very important on any talk platform.

There must also be elements of our Victory Plan."
