Zelensky emphasizes short-term EU support and strategy for ending the war
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently stated that Ukraine does not intend to prolong the ongoing conflict for decades.
He emphasized the importance of European partners providing consistent financial support to Ukraine for a certain period, estimated at 2-3 years.
Zelensky highlighted that such aid should be steady regardless of when the war ends.
He mentioned the possibility of an earlier resolution but stressed the need for resources for reconstruction.
Ensuring that Ukrainian soldiers have salaries is crucial, as it remains uncertain whether Putin will return with renewed aggression after the conflict concludes.
Zelensky also pointed out that frozen Russian assets could be utilized by Ukraine for defense and recovery efforts.
He indicated that European countries are close to deciding on transferring these assets to Ukraine.
This approach reflects a focus on a short-term support plan lasting around 2-3 years, with future plans for rebuilding and defense depending on the evolving situation.
