Putin will abandon diplomacy if Ukraine does not receive a reparations loan from the EU.

Then he will decide to continue the war.

Putin understands that we will be weaker and more vulnerable. And it's absolutely clear that he definitely won't want a diplomatic track.

He definitely won't want any diplomacy, any dialogue. What will everyone else do?

My address from Kupiansk had a significant impact on both the U.S. and Europe.

It proved that Putin is once again lying about the occupied territories.

A withdrawal of Ukraine’s Armed Forces from Donbas is unacceptable for Ukraine, so the U.S. is looking for a compromise.

We understand that Russians want to exclude the presence of the Europeans from negotiations.

This must not be allowed to happen.

European presence will decrease the probability of Russia attacking again.

We want frozen Russian assets, so that it is not a part of the negotiating process.

We are more confident at the negotiating table if we have this instrument.

I have one aim, to get an answer for the question:

What will the United States of America do if Russia comes with aggression again?

Biden told me: "No, you will not be NATO."

I have approached this issue time and again, and certain people in the White House smiled at me and had other reactions because of that, and they always said that I was tough.

I don’t know why.

The United States don’t see us in NATO, for now. Everything in our lives is for now.

Maybe, the position will change in the future.

Politicians change, somebody lives, somebody dies. And it’s life.

I really count on pressure from the United States.

More pressure on Russia, because Putin doesn’t want to stop this war, but Trump can.

If the United States will pressure more, President Trump can be successful in this.
