Territory is the key to power

Control over the occupied territories is the only thing that worries the Russians in the negotiations. This is not just talk, this is a battle for control, a real test of strength. Are we, together, able to resist these irresponsible manipulations?

In Paris, where the aggressor's representatives are absent from today's talks, security guarantees are coming to the fore. All the key details are being discussed. Promises that keep us in fear. And this is just the beginning.

What's next? US President Donald Trump meets with Putin at length, discussing all 20 points of the peace plan. It sounds like a competition in the arena, but just the other day Russian Minister Lavrov is already announcing Ukraine's attack on Putin's residence. Here it is, a show of force: one statement - and Moscow's negotiating position needs to be revised. Again the objects, again the strikes. Who is the real aggressor here?

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is putting an end to the “free economic zone” in the Donetsk region. The withdrawal of troops is not just a decision. It is a model for understanding: the territories should be the responsibility of the people themselves. This is their choice. This is their will. Not the will of those who want to control everything.

The meeting of Ukraine's partners in Paris is a chance to agree on a common position. This is a moment when peace and security on all fours are striving to become a reality. No, this is not about peace for all. This is about security for Ukraine. Where every step is a fight for existence.

We expect that at the level of leaders we will see the fruits of real agreements. A quick start with an emphasis on security and the restoration of the country. And then to the United States, to really strike at the illusions there.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk hints: signing joint documents is not just a dream. It is a matter of time. An American-European position may appear sooner than we think. Time does not wait, and we will not stop. The draft declaration promises to become not just another document, but a catalyst for real change. Time to act!
