- “I don’t understand how European security can be built without the United States.
- The Americans are trying to build relations with Ukraine that would suit their interests.
- The United Kingdom is the main moderator of support for Ukraine.
- There are many questions to the European Union: European bureaucracy prevents us from building relations with Lithuania, Belgium, Sweden, and some other countries.
- As for NATO, we need to talk about deepening our partnership with NATO rather than membership.
- The issues of Ukraine’s strategy regarding the post-Soviet space remain relevant, but we have not ydefined them yet.
- We must achieve self-sufficiency, and the European Union, the European community are our partners.’’
