In our final minutes of this Ukraine War edition, H.E. and I discuss what a ‘Just Peace‘ means for Ukraine and what Russia understands as a credible deterrent.
Editor-in-Chief, Gus Anderson: In our earlier podcast, last month, you spoke about a ‘just‘ and ‘sustainable peace‘ for Ukraine.
Question: What does that look like in real terms for Ukraine?
H.E. Dmytro Senik: Our message to the world is that we have been in this situation since 2014.
"We do not want to end up in some sort of quasi-peace deal where Russia will come back. We want justice. We want a durable and stable peace."
For us, for Ukraine, it is important to make sure that Russia, with its neocolonial ambitions, will never invade Ukraine again. This is our principled position.
We discussed with our partners, the possibility of achieving this durable and lasting peace for Ukraine in accordance with the UN Charter and international law.
"We are not asking for anything more than what all members of the UN are offered under the UN Charter."
Editor-in-Chief, Gus Anderson: You talk about not wanting Russia to come back again.
Question: What do you think Russia understands as a deterrent?
H.E. Dmytro Senik: Unfortunately for Russia, being a irresponsible member of the international community, Russia understands strength.
"Peace is possible. Strength through establishment of our gurantees. Peace with Russia can only be achieved through strength."
Editor-in-Chief, Gus Anderson: Thank you, Your Excellency.
