Peace for 180 days, concessions of the Russian Federation and elections in Ukraine: Main statements of the second day of Munich-2025
A number of applications for the completion of the Russian-Ukrainian War have been made by the US Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia Kit Kellogg, Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) Mark Rutte and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Focus has collected the main statements of the next day Munich-2025. Special Representative of US President Donald Trump for Ukraine and Russia in the evening of February 15 took part in the panel discussion "Peace for Power.
Plan for Ukraine". During his speech, he noted that in order to end the war in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin must make concessions, including territorial ones. "These should be territorial concessions, there may be a refusal to use the armed forces, a decrease in the number of personnel," said General Kellog. He also estimated the level of sanctions applied to the United States as 6 out of 10, but their implementation, according to a special representative, remains at 3 out of 10.
Kellogo stressed the need for strict sanctions that will hit the economy. "Now most countries have imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation, but most of them are committing sanctions on petroleum products. And they sell them through the shadow fleet. Most of them work on the Baltic Sea, and we have to provide for a plan," the US Special Representative said.
In response to the question of how the United States see the end of the war and whether it can be the victory of Ukraine, Kellog said that victory, as in the Second World War, "probably won't happen. " "Let's be honest. Ukraine boldly fought. The first thing to do is stop bleeding, and then - to treat. Whatever the plan is, you need to think carefully . . . " - said the general.
As for the presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine, after the ceasefire, Kelloggus noted that it was a matter of the Ukrainian people. "When there is a democracy, it is realized by voting. Our founding parents question" What will you give us? "Answered," We will give you a republic if you can keep it. "And you can ask yourself, not the USA" , - said Trump's special representative.
During the 8th Ukrainian Lancha on the occasion of the Munich Conference on Security, a special representative said that the war in Ukraine should end faster than a year. "I take 180 days in public, start deducting back to attract all parties," said Trump's special representative. He added that a peace agreement should be drawn up in such a way that it ensures the sustainable peace and sovereignty of Ukraine, and that the war never begins again.
According to him, during the conference he will discuss the vision of the end of the war with the allies, and then transmit this spectrum of opinion of Donald Trump - and on their basis the US President will make a decision. "It's not about months, it's days and weeks," Kellog said. The general also stated that the participation of European countries in negotiations with Russia is not obligatory.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that the Alliance should continue to support Ukraine, supply weapons, instructors and provide Kiev with the best positions for future negotiations, reports the People's Deputy of Ukraine Alexei Goncharenko. Mark Rutte believes that as a result of negotiation, Ukraine must receive such security guarantees so that Putin cannot attack for the second time.
At the same time, he denied that Ukraine's membership in NATO could be a peace agreement, Ukrinform reports. He also urged European countries to put forward specific initiatives and security guarantees to achieve a sustainable and long peace in Ukraine. During his speech at the Munich Security Conference, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Russian Federation was preparing to create 15 new divisions with 150 thousand and transfer them to Belarus.
He expressed the belief that Europe should consider the creation of its own armed forces to protect against the Russian threat. The Ukrainian leader also said that he would not agree to no agreements "concluded on our back and without our participation. " Zelensky stressed that the security for Ukraine should be either NATO membership or equivalent to this.
The President of Ukraine was skeptical of the Russian Federation to conclude a long -term peace and noted that Putin could not give security guarantees, because he needed war to remain in power. Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said that he was ready to talk about elections, but now, he said, "Ukrainians do not want to election. " "We need unity within the country. If someone does not like it, they can choose another citizenship," the President said.
We will remind, on February 14, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US Vice -Cresident Jay Di Vance discussed the achievements of a long peace in Ukraine. Vance stressed the need to prevent new conflicts in the future, and Zelensky noted that the parties were working on a plan that would help stop Putin.
