We will take "concrete steps to bring Ukraine closer to NATO."

"Ukraine's path and bridge towards NATO membership is now irreversible."

"Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians."

"There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both [Ukraine and Russia]."

"There are partners ready to provide gas without immediate payment requirements, in particular, Norway and EU countries, as well as suppliers from the Middle East, whom we relied on last winter," Zelenskyy said. "The main task now is to secure financing, and we believe it will be found."

Russia's aerial terrorism against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure continued over the past day. The world can deprive Moscow of the ability to carry out such brutal attacks by providing Ukraine with the requisite air defenses, as well as compelling Russia to come to the negotiating table by sanctions and other strong measures.

Attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure are a direct consequence of the failure of the country's leadership to meaningfully engage in peace talks and thinking they can defeat Russia on the battlefield. These attacks will stop once a more sober position is reached.
