“Zelensky’s thunderous declaration: The decisive moment to end the war together with Europe has come!”
Ukrainian/In the Ukrainian capital on Sunday evening, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s voice resonated with such confidence that it not only lit the flame of hope in the hearts of the countrymen, but also created a stir in the power corridors of Europe. Amidst the smoke of war and the echo of bullets, Zelensky declared in clear words – “Ukraine fully supports the joint statement of European leaders.”
His words were not just diplomacy, but the roar of a war-weary nation. He wrote on Twitter – “The end of the war must be fair, and I am grateful to all those who stand with us today for peace in Ukraine, and are protecting the vital security interests of our European nations.”
Historic solidarity of Europe’s great leaders!
The names mentioned by Zelensky were not just diplomatic signatures, but symbols of the collective power of the entire continent.
•French President Emmanuel Macron,
•Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni,
•German Chancellor Olaf Merz,
•Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk,
•Britain Prime Minister Keir Starmer,
•European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen,
•Finland President Alexander Stubb,
These seven top leaders unanimously made a statement, which Kiev termed as “historic”. This statement makes it clear that Europe will not compromise on Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security.
Background of the war — and why a “fair end” is necessary!
This war, which began with Russia’s attack in February 2022, has entered its third year. Millions of civilians have been displaced, cities have been reduced to rubble, and the economy is groaning under the burden of war.
Zelensky has said many times that peace should be based on “justice” and not on “concessions”. His clear message — any peace agreement will be acceptable only if it strengthens Ukraine’s interests and Europe’s security.
In his words, “A fair end means — an end to aggression, the restoration of our borders, and the security of our people.”
New hope for the path to peace!
The joint statement of European leaders, which has now received the full support of Ukraine, is being considered an important step towards a ceasefire.
This statement makes it clear that:
•There will be no compromise on Ukraine’s sovereignty in any talks.
•Russia will have to take responsibility for the attack.
•The international community will support Ukraine in post-war reconstruction.
Experts believe that this support will not only boost Ukraine’s morale on the battlefield, but will also increase pressure on Russia on the diplomatic platform.
Response of the people of Kiev — “We are not alone”! After Zelensky’s announcement, light smiles returned to the streets of Kiev. In war-torn cities like Irpin and Bucha, people also gathered to hear this news on TV screens.
An elderly woman, whose house was destroyed in Russian bombing in 2022, said –
“For three years we have only heard the sound of bullets. Today for the first time it seems that perhaps the voice of Europe can become our shield.”
Zelensky’s strategic message!
By supporting this statement, Zelensky sent two messages simultaneously:
Warning to Moscow – Ukraine is now more connected to Europe than ever before, and this alliance is not just of weapons, but of political will.
Confidence to its citizens – despite war fatigue, the leadership is firm and international support is still strong.
Next step – talks or a new wave of conflict?
Now all eyes are on Moscow’s response. Will Russia ignore this joint statement, or return to the negotiating table?
European diplomats believe that if this pressure is increased, a “framework peace agreement” may be possible by the end of 2025.
But the dangers are not less. Firing is still going on on the frontlines in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Military sources say that the next few weeks will determine how real the possibility of a ceasefire is.
A day to be recorded in the pages of history!
Future historians will probably remember August 10, 2025 as a turning point. It was the day when Ukraine openly “fully supported” a joint declaration with Europe calling for an end to the war — and the whole world heard the message that peace is possible only through the confluence of strength and justice.
Zelensky’s words resonate —
“We will not stop until our land, our honor and our freedom are safe. This is not just a fight for Ukraine, but a fight for the security of the whole of Europe.
