Putin sees himself at Yalta 1945 — Sybiha responds to Russian statements on redrawing security in Europe
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga responded to Russia's proposals for a "new security architecture in Europe."
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing the press office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Putin's Dreams of "Yalta 1945"
According to him, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is floating ideas about reshaping the European security order.
In his dreams, he sees himself in Yalta in 1945. "The problem is that to put forward ideas on such a scale, you first have to win a world war. The last time I checked, Russia spent four years and eight months ‘almost capturing’ the village of Mala Tokmachka in the Zaporizhzhia region," the minister emphasizes.
The Kremlin's Illusions Against the backdrop of the realities on the front lines
He also pointed out that Russia has lost more than 1.6 million military personnel—killed or wounded—but has failed to achieve any of the objectives of its invasion. In October alone, it lost 54,400 occupiers, while Ukraine liberated more territory than Russia managed to seize.
How can we ensure Europe's security?
"At this stage, the most Putin can negotiate is a fair ceasefire along the current line of contact, not spheres of influence in Europe. Frankly speaking, Europe does not need a new security order. It already exists, and Russia is constantly violating it. The best plan for a safe and free Europe is to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine," Sibiga emphasized.
Zelenskyy had previously stated that Russia wants to revise the security architecture in Europe.
