The Unwavering Gratitude: Zelensky’s Message to the US Amid Tensions
"Grateful for Our Allies," Zelensky Says, But Security Guarantees Remain Key to Ending the War
In a video message posted on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed his gratitude to the United States for its unwavering support to Ukraine amidst the ongoing war. This marked a rare moment of conciliatory tone, coming days after his tumultuous meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House, where Trump publicly reprimanded Zelensky for not being thankful enough.
A Message of Appreciation Amid Tensions
In the video, Zelensky addressed the people of Ukraine, acknowledging the importance of the United States and expressing his gratitude for the support they have received from the US. "There has not been a day when we haven’t felt gratitude. It’s gratitude for the preservation of our independence – our resilience in Ukraine is based on what our partners are doing for us – and for their own security," he emphasized.
The Need for Security Guarantees
However, the Ukrainian President maintained his stance that security guarantees are crucial to ending the war. "What we need is peace, not endless war. And that’s why we say security guarantees are the key to this," he stressed. Zelensky reiterated that security guarantees are essential to bring peace to Ukraine, a position supported by Ukraine’s European allies, including the United Kingdom, the European Union, Turkey, and others.
Europe’s Unity Unites Against the War
Zelensky praised the unified stance of Europe, stating that all of Ukraine’s allies agree that "for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees." This echoes the sentiment shared by Europe as a whole, highlighting the continent’s collective commitment to ending the war and bringing peace to Ukraine.
Salvaging Relations with the US
The video message comes amidst an effort to salvage the relationship with the US, following the heated meeting with Trump. When asked about the possibility of salvaging the relationship, Zelensky expressed optimism, saying, "I think our relationship will continue." He also acknowledged that the controversial format of the meeting did not yield anything positive for the partnership.
Conclusion: Gratitude and Resolve
Zelensky’s video message, like many of his previous statements, emphasizes the importance of security guarantees in ending the war.
