Zelenskyy's team says it is ready to discuss any peace options

Ukraine is ready to discuss any peace options. But only those that support the territorial integrity and full sovereignty of our country.

This was written by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak, RBC-Ukraine reports, citing his publication for Hufvudstadsbladet.

In the column, the head of the OP spoke about Finland's role in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the creation of a platform for assessing environmental damage to Ukraine, its role in a number of other issues, including its efforts to achieve peace in our country.

Against the backdrop of this weekend's economic security conference in Helsinki, Yermak emphasized that Russia must be held accountable for the ecocide in Ukraine. However, first “we have to win and create conditions for peace.” To this end, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a plan for victory.

In addition, thanks to the progress made after the first peace summit in Switzerland, Ukraine is ready to agree on a framework for peace at the second meeting.

“At the summit, we want to build peace not only for Ukraine, but also for the entire international community, for the benefit of all our peoples,” Yermak said in his post.

The head of the OP wrote that although the peace formula establishes the basic principles of peace in Ukraine, all states should be actively involved in developing the framework of the agreement. He added that the implementation of these principles can and should be carried out on the basis of consensus, adjusted and supplemented.

“We are ready to discuss any options for adjusting our proposal, provided that they comply with international law and support the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the inviolability of its borders and the country's full sovereignty. Ukraine, as a victim of aggression, cannot accept any changes that threaten its existence, its right to self-determination or the human dignity of the Ukrainian people,” he wrote.

Yermak also said that a series of ten thematic conferences on each of the points of the peace formula of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will end at the end of October.

After that, thanks to the diplomatic efforts of countries “from all over the world, we will be ready to present to the international community and Russia a concrete path to a just, lasting and sustainable peace.”
