Key statements by the President
During his address, the President stressed:
«This is one of the most difficult moments in our history. Ukraine may face a very difficult choice: either a loss of dignity or the risk of losing a key partner. Either the difficult 28 points, or an extremely difficult winter, the hardest one, and further risks.».
Zelenskyy warned that difficult decisions and significant political pressure lie ahead:
«We will be expected to respond. The next week will be difficult and eventful. You are adults and knowledgeable people. There will be a lot of pressure at this time. The enemy does not sleep.».
The President stressed that it was not just about politics, but about Life without freedom, without dignity and without justice, and also about imposing trust in the aggressor, who has attacked Ukraine twice already.
Context.
The statement came amid heated discussions about the so-called «peace plan» with the United States, which contains 28 points and is causing controversy within the country and among partners.
