“Ukraine needs a full, fair and sustainable peace,” he said.
“Otherwise, peace in exchange for territory is annexation.
Peace in exchange for sovereignty is surrender. Peace in exchange for people is
slavery. Peace in exchange for non-aligned status is suicide. Peace in exchange
for a frozen conflict is shifting this war onto the shoulders of our children
and grandchildren.”
It is for these reasons that the full implementation of the
Peace Formula of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is important,
Stefanchuk stated.
“The formula is a formula because it must have all the
components,” the Ukrainian parliament speaker said.
“And it is Ukraine, which is suffering from this aggression,
that has a fair right to determine the parts of this formula.”
He also noted that Ukraine will take the first step towards
the implementation of the Peace Formula on June 15, together with a hundred
like-minded countries, at the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland.
Vladimir Putin’s conditions for peace talks
Ahead of the peace summit in Switzerland on June 14, to
which Russia was not invited, Putin announced his “conditions” for ending the
war against Ukraine. He fantasized that in order to end the fighting, Ukraine
should “withdraw its troops” from the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson,
and Zaporizhzhya oblasts within the administrative borders. He also demanded
that Ukraine refuse to join NATO.
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said that Putin’s attempts to
portray himself as a “peacemaker” and offer “options” for ending the war he has
unleashed are absurd. They stated that all the ultimatums voiced by Putin have
been heard many times before from Moscow, and there is nothing new in these
statements.
Zelenskyy called Russian dictator Putin’s new manipulative statements about ending the war an ultimatum and pointed out that he was reviving Nazism.
