Ukraine will continue to do its utmost for the next summit of the leadership of Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia to be held as per the schedule, i.e. in April 2020, as stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“Our key task today is to ensure the steady implementation of the Paris agreements. Ukraine is ready and works on it every day. Every day, step by step, we move forward on the path to peace. But this is a two-way road, and we are waiting for the other party to take steps forward,” the Head of State noted in his speech at the Munich Security Conference.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasizes that without the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine and the return of the occupied Crimea, we cannot fix a damaged regional security system in Europe, which must be based solely on the norms and principles of international law enshrined in the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act and international treaties.
“Ukraine has always made a significant contribution to international security. Being one of the founders of the UN. Giving up its nuclear weapons and instead losing part of its territory in the 21st century and continuing to lose its citizens. That is why today Ukraine has every right to speak about the inefficiency of the existing world rules, the need to reconsider and revise them,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
According to the President, Ukraine is a country that has directly felt the imperfection of the world's current architecture. The existing institutions are not operating as efficiently as is required today.
The Head of State emphasized that international agreement must be confirmed by joint action.
