"Russia has used more than 57,000 Shahed-type strike drones against Ukraine against our people, against our cities, against our energy sector. Although Ukrainians have never threatened Iran, the Iranian regime chose to be Putin's accomplice."
"It is only fair to give the Iranian people a chance to get rid of the terrorist regime, to get rid of it and guarantee the safety of all nations that have suffered from terror originating in Iran. It is important that the United States is determined. And whenever America is determined, global criminals weaken."
"Ukraine is seeking iron-clad security guarantees which commit the US and its European allies to action if Russia attacks again after a peace deal is reached."
Zelenskyy announced that scheduling the next round of peace talks involving the US, Russia, and Ukraine depends on the security situation in the Middle East and available diplomatic opportunities. Previously planned for Abu Dhabi in early March, the talks face uncertainty following US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Zelenskyy expressed support for these military actions, criticizing Iran as Putin's accomplice for supplying Shahed drones used extensively against Ukraine. He emphasized the importance of US determination while cautioning against wider escalation. Russia has deployed over 57,000 Shahed-type drones against Ukrainian targets. Trump is pressuring both sides toward agreement, though Zelenskyy reports Ukraine faces pressure to make concessions. Ukraine demands ironclad security guarantees from the US and European allies to prevent future Russian aggression. Recent Geneva talks produced no breakthrough.
