“There should be no Russian energy in Europe at all. The messages from America are clear – they are ready to supply as much natural gas and oil as is needed to replace Russian supplies,” the Ukrainian president said today, while the war continues with energy infrastructure being targeted almost daily by the warring countries.

“Our region has the necessary infrastructure and potential to contribute much more to Europe’s energy independence,” Volodymyr Zelenskiy emphasized in his message.

At the same time, he emphasized that he has submitted proposals to the US regarding natural gas infrastructure, nuclear power generation and various other projects.

“Right now we are working on the details,” he said.

“Almost every day now, we’re communicating with leaders to make sure we have a common position, all of us in Europe, on putting pressure on Russia—the right pressure. We will not give anything to the aggressor and we will not forget anything” concluded the Ukrainian president.

The Ukrainian president – on his return from Washington, where he failed to convince US President Donald Trump to supply Kiev with Tomahawk missiles. – he also urged his allies to reject any policy of appeasement towards Russia

“Ukraine will never give terrorists any reward for their crimes, and we rely on our partners to uphold this stance,” Zelensky wrote on Telegram, calling on his European and American allies to take “decisive measures.”

Today the Ukrainian president called for a meeting “in the near future” of the Coalition of the Willing, a group of mainly European countries that provide aid to Ukraine.

“We need strong common positions in Europe,” he argued.
