Ukraine Reaffirms Commitment To Diplomacy, Says Zelenskyy
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine has “never wanted this war” and reaffirmed that the country remains committed to a diplomatic path. He added that recent developments have “reinvigorated diplomacy,” calling the renewed engagement a positive step toward ending the conflict.
Focus On Effective Peace Measures
Zelenskyy stressed that any peace initiative must deliver reliable outcomes, including strong security guarantees and full respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty. He said a settlement will only be meaningful if it honours those who defended the country and ensures that future threats are deterred. The president also emphasised that diplomacy must reinforce Ukraine’s dignity and strategic position.
International Support And Next Steps
The statement comes as the United States and European nations continue urging negotiations to resume. Kyiv has made it clear that it will back diplomatic efforts, provided that Ukraine’s core interests are protected. Work is underway to outline concrete mechanisms, verification steps and long-term assurances to ensure accountability in any future agreement.
