The President of Ukraine presented a seven-point plan for peace to the European Council. The plan includes joining NATO, EU membership, strengthening sanctions and using frozen Russian assets.

To bring about the end of the war and the return of peace, the United States must apply maximum pressure, and Europe must take a clear position. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said what would force Russia to recognize the need for peace during a speech at a meeting of the European Council, UNN reports .

“First: geopolitical clarity for Ukraine and Europe - an invitation to Ukraine to join NATO.

Second: clear progress on Ukraine's EU membership.

Third: strengthening our defense with the promised weapons and air defense systems, as well as urgently equipping our brigades.

Fourth: increasing investment in arms production in Ukraine and Europe to build capacity.

Fifth: maintaining and strengthening sanctions against Russia until a full and lasting peace is achieved.

Sixth, more active use of frozen Russian assets to support peace efforts.

Seventh: social resilience - helping Ukraine rebuild schools, hospitals, and energy infrastructure to ensure normal life. This is proof of the failure of Russia's war,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
