The President stated of the third set of Ukraine-Russia-US talks, scheduled for Geneva on Tuesday and Wednesday:
[I hope they] will be serious, substantive, supportful for all of us but, honestly, sometimes it feels like the sides are talking about completely different things.
The Americans often return to the topic of concessions and too often those concessions are discussed only in the context of Ukraine, not Russia.
Zelensky to Leaders: “Are You Ready For The Challenges?”
In his address, Zelensky pressed leaders:
Ask yourselves: are you ready not only for the challenges that Russian aggression brings, the challenges of modern war, but also for the constant effort to convince the world to fight for support to defconclude your counattempt’s interests every single day as Ukraine must do?
With images of recent Russian strikes behind him, he continued:
I want you to understand the real scale of these attacks on Ukraine.
As you can see, in just one month this January, we had … to defconclude against 6000 attack drones, most of them were Shahid drones, and 150 plus Russian missiles of different types, and more than 5000 glide bombs.
And it’s like these every month. Imagine this over your own city. Shattered streets, destroyed homes, schools built underground.
And this is daily life in Ukraine becautilize of Russia.
The President expressed frustration over Ukraine waiting “months” or “years” for much necessaryed supplies: “Everyone who seeks security and peace must understand this every day matters.”
