“I think President Biden could strengthen our negotiations in the Normandy format, again because he understands the Ukraine and Russia issue. Secondly, he spoke about security in Europe, and thirdly, we believe that it is no longer enough to talk about the End of the war, and then what to do We need the reintegration of Donbass. A Donbass reintegration requires strong companies, strong technology, security and money. And here I believe we can’t do it ourselves “ – Zelensky said and stressed that the United States could also play a key role in the development of a free economic zone in Donbass.

The “Crimean Platform” and, of course, I would like to see in it those countries that will be key players, key guarantors of the return and evacuation of Crimea, the return of Crimea and our territorial integrity. And the United States could be a leader in this direction. “ – Zelensky said.

However, Donbass is dying without Ukraine. The presence of the occupation troops kills technology, education, medicine, there are environmental disasters in relation to flooded mines, looting and factories sawn into metal that were there. The situation is dire, so I rightly say: Donbass is dying without Ukraine, “he said.
