"There is no alternative to Ukrainian victory," President Zelensky tells Munich Security Conference

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told world leaders at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that “there is no alternative to Ukrainian victory" as he continued to lobby for his country's admission to the EU and NATO.

“There is no alternative to Ukraine in the EU. There is no alternative to Ukraine in NATO. There is no alternative to our unity,“ Zelensky said via video.

People, Europe and freedom cannot be the “subject of compromise,” he added.

Zelensky told leaders that he hopes that in upcoming years, the conference will be held in post-war conditions where Ukraine is free.

The Ukrainian leader also provided his assessment on Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategy, saying “it’s obvious that Ukraine is not going to be his last stop. He’s going to continue his movement all the way — I don’t know — including all other states that at some point in time were part of … the Soviet bloc.”
