Ukraine’s future belongs to its people, not power plays

As global powers discuss Ukraine’s fate, the voices of its people remain steadfast. While Putin pushes for control under the guise of a UN-led administration and the U.S. eyes economic gains, Ukrainians have a clear vision: victory, justice, democracy, and integration into the EU and NATO

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is more promising than Putin because Putin will soon die.

Putin, in turn, claims that an administration under the auspices of the UN should be introduced in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the Americans want to take all of Ukraine’s natural resources as payment for a debt that no one took.

The Ukrainian people, however, want to first, together with partners who value democracy, defeat Putin’s army and hold him accountable. Then, they aim to conduct democratic elections, join the EU and NATO, and attract both American and European investments.

When the Ukrainian people are forgotten, they remind the world of their presence.
