Zelenskyy: Russia preparing for new conflicts in coming years
Russia is prolonging the war in the Middle East by supporting the Iranian regime with intelligence and preparing for new conflicts in the coming years, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said following a briefing on US meetings.
“The geopolitical situation has become more complicated due to the war against Iran, and unfortunately, this is emboldening Russia. But the fundamental circumstances have not changed. Russia continues this war and its destabilization of Europe, supports the Iranian regime with intelligence, and thereby prolongs the war in that region, while also preparing for new conflicts in the coming years. This threat of constant war across the map must be stopped,” Zelenskyy said on X Tuesday.
The President noted the significance of the fact that during the negotiators’ report, Russia launched a new wave of shaheds against Ukraine.
“The team reported on what was actually discussed in Florida – the key points, opportunities, and challenges. The most important task is to develop security guarantees in a way that brings us closer to ending the war. Security is the key to peace,” he noted.
According to him, this can only be achieved by the United States, Europe, and other global actors working together.
Zelenskyy noted the need for a meeting at the leadership level to "truly resolve these issues."
“I have instructed the team to continue working as actively as possible with partners so that diplomacy is substantive and that, in particular, humanitarian issues such as prisoner exchanges are resolved. I also instructed the team to brief our European and Canadian partners about the meetings in Florida,” he briefed.
