“We’ve been fighting for 3 years, and Ukrainian people need to know that America is on our side,” Zelensky wrote, adding that Kyiv needs to be “strong” during peace agreement talks.
“Peace can only come when we know we have security guarantees, when our army is strong, and our partners are with us,” he said.
“It will be difficult without the U.S. support. But we can’t lose our will, our freedom, or our people. We’ve seen how Russians came to our homes and killed many people,” the Ukrainian leader continued. “Nobody wants another wave of occupation. If we cannot be accepted to NATO, we need some clear structure of security guarantees from our allies in the U.S.”
