Ending the war of the aggressor country of russia against Ukraine should begin with the release of Ukrainian prisoners. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this at the Support Ukraine summit with the participation of leaders of partner countries and the leadership of the European Union in Kyiv, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"Ending the war should begin with steps that restore trust in the situation itself, because there is no trust in russia. And we need a situation in which they talk about the end of the war, a real situation. And now such a step can be the release of prisoners, thousands, thousands of people who have been held in russia. And some of them not only since 22, but much earlier - since 14. Russia must release Ukrainians. Ukraine is ready to exchange everyone for everyone and this is a fair option," he said.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Zelenskyy also stated that 2025 should be the year of the beginning of a real, reliable peace, peace can be the result of balanced diplomacy and clear security guarantees for Ukraine, and Ukraine should be at the negotiating table together with Europe.
