Quotes:

Zaluzhnyi highlighted several “facts of reality” about the world and Russia's war against Ukraine...Unlike countries that have lost their independence, Ukraine has been defending its independence with “weapons in its hands for ten years,” proving its desire to live in the civilized Western world, despite more than 30,000 dead in the full-scale war and hundreds of thousands wounded. “We have the right to our own future.” The enemy's attempts to destroy Ukraine as a nation make peaceful coexistence and the cessation of war impossible, as well as options for stopping the war on the basis of “intentions of mutual security.” The enemy is trying to destroy Ukrainians as a nation, and this makes future peaceful coexistence impossible... The events in Ukraine are caused by the unwillingness of the collective West to influence the global security system, and Russia began its aggressive actions, taking advantage of the weakness of the West and the United States in particular... The collective West did not believe in Ukraine, first it gave it “three hours and then three days.” Later, the West did not provide Ukraine with the necessary amount of weapons, so in 2023 Ukraine did not achieve serious success in defeating Russia and entered a state of protracted war... Russia has formed a coalition with China, North Korea, and Iran. The BRICS alliance is also likely to expand, while the West is still afraid of escalation... Ukrainians want security guarantees for themselves and their children - this can be achieved by accepting Ukraine into NATO or "turning Ukraine into NATO," following the example of Israel.
