Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the Western world to send more help when he opened the Munich Security Conference (MSC) from Kyiv on Friday. \u201cWe need speed,\u201d Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MSC is the primary global platform for the exchange of ideas on security policy, assembling hundreds of heads-of-state, ministers, influential figures from international and NGOS, academics, and players in industry, the media and civil society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czech President-elect Petr Pavel, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba were amongst the participants at the \u201cOne Year Later: Ukraine\u2019s Fight for Freedom and What\u2019s Next\u201d discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They discussed how the war is progressing on the military, economic, political, and information fronts and assessed ways to end the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavel pessimistic on 2023 victory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavel admitted pessimism regarding Ukraine\u2019s capability of winning the war in 2023.\u201cWe may end up in a situation when the liberation of some parts of the Ukrainian territory can result in more life losses than society can bear,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is why there might be a point when Ukrainians can start thinking about another outcome. And we should be also ready for this eventuality, because it\u2019s not about expecting the best, but about being ready for the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general turned politician stressed the importance of the swift provision of air defence assets to Ukraine. \u201cAir defence, including anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems, whatever we can deliver, is needed now in a short term. Apparently, the Russian military is losing their capability on the ground, and it\u2019s most probable that they will move forward towards air operations. So the more air defence assets we deliver to Ukraine right now, the better.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kallas calls for more focus on armaments <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kallas stressed the need to boost the capacity of the European defence industry: \u201cRussia is producing in three shifts. Why isn\u2019t the European defence industry doing the same? And they say that this is because of the lack of orders. \u2018If we don\u2019t have orders, we cannot make investments\u2019, they say.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven if the war ends or when the war ends, we will not stop procuring the ammunition, because the threat is still there,\u201d Kallas added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian FM urges full liberation of Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuleba said \u201cLast year the keyword for me was \u201cweapons\u201d, and this year there are two keywords for me – ‘delivery speed’ and ‘sustainability’. This is crucial – everything that has been pledged to us, has to arrive on time to be relevant. This is what we need to focus on.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the prospects of victory for Ukraine, he said “the short-time end game is the full liberation of the Ukrainian territory. There will be no other contact lines, no territorial concessions – we have been there, and we have seen that this doesn\u2019t work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The long-term end game will cover accountability and compensations. But most importantly is that there will be a question of how we can make sure that Russia is not capable of doing this again,\u201d Kuleba added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
