Biden supports Ukraine's proposal to hold peace forum this winter

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this during a speech at the U.S. Congress.

"Russia could stop its aggression if it wanted to, but you can speed up our victory. I know it.

And it will prove to any potential aggressor that no one can succeed in breaking national borders, committing atrocities and reigning over people against their will," the President of Ukraine noted.

He emphasized that it was naive to expect steps toward peace from a country that wants to be a terrorist state.

"Russians are still poisoned by the Kremlin. The restoration of international legal order is our joint task. We need peace. Ukraine has already offered proposals, which I just discussed with President Biden – our Peace Formula. Ten points, which should and must be implemented for our joint security – guaranteed for decades ahead. And the Summit, which can be held. I am glad to stress that President Biden supported our peace initiative today. Each of you, ladies and gentlemen, can assist in its implementation – to ensure that America’s leadership remains solid, bicameral and bipartisan," Zelenskyy added.
