Even if Ukraine were to sign the most stringent of peace treaties, the danger of aggression by Russia could re-occur. This was stated by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, adding that for this it is necessary to build a Ukrainian state capable of defending itself in the future .
Not only that: Ukraine needs precise guarantees . There must be a list of guarantor countries, which must ensure that certain points are implemented.
“All of this is being discussed with the leaders of France, the United States, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Israel and there are many other friends who want to participate. But so far - added Zelensky - we have not received a precise list of guarantees and a list of countries willing to follow us 100%».
“We don't need 40 countries in the world ready to unite and fight for Ukraine on the basis of an agreement – he underlined – We need serious actors who are, however, ready for anything . We need a group of states that are ready to supply any weapon within 24 hours. We need individual countries on which a sanctions policy depends, so that the sanctions are already worked out in depth in advance. So that as soon as we get an inkling of a threat from the Russian Federation, these countries unite and introduce all (retaliatory measures) in three days, block everything.
“If they offer us to join NATO from tomorrow and they don't play with our lives again but make a serious offer of membership, we will join – he continued -. But unfortunately this will not happen and has not happened so far . For this we must build ourselves those guarantees that protect us, protect people's lives. We are still able to protect ourselves but protecting all people is a more difficult task,” Zelensky said.
"I believe that our entire people will be our great army," like a "greater Israel," with members of the army and national guard in all institutional headquarters, supermarkets and cinemas.
