【Zelenskyy: Support for the "Christmas Truce" Idea】On December 15th local time, after the Berlin talks among the US, Europe and Ukraine, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy held a press conference, with the following main statements:
1. In the first version of the peace plan proposed by the United States, there are some clauses that I cannot comment on, but the important thing is that these clauses are no longer in it now.
2. Ukraine will neither legally nor factually recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as part of Russia.
3. The Trump team is ready to push for security guarantees for Ukraine in the US Congress.
4. The issue of resettling internally displaced persons is very important — this involves hundreds of billions of dollars, specifically, about $80 billion is needed for their housing.
5. The US side hopes the war will end as soon as possible, but for us, "quality" is more important: "If speed and quality can be achieved at the same time, we will support it with both hands."
6. Whether it is "compensation loans" or using Russian frozen assets in any other form, it is a financial security guarantee for Ukraine.
7. Ukraine supports the idea of a "Christmas Truce".
8. Ukraine will refine its proposal within the next one or two days, after which the US side will consult with Russia, and then further negotiations with Trump will follow.
9. If a ceasefire is achieved, elections will be held — Ukraine is ready to hold elections and will complete them within 60 to 90 days.
10. The issue of holding a referendum has not been discussed yet: "This is a complex issue that requires complex decisions. We are trying to avoid certain decisions that would make the lives of Ukrainians already made difficult by the war even more complicated."
11. If Putin rejects the formed peace plan, the situation will become turbulent. Zelenskyy #Ukraine
