Amid a surge of disinformation aimed at weakening international solidarity, Ukraine has made its position clear: peace is not a commodity, and Ukraine will not be sidelined. Any sustainable peace process must include Ukraine as an active decision-maker, not as a bargaining chip.
Claims that Ukraine has been “excluded” from diplomatic negotiations are part of a broader information warfare campaign. Their goal is to fracture public trust and portray Ukraine as isolated. Yet the reality tells a different story: on April 17 in Paris, high-level talks took place with Ukraine, the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom at the table — a strong sign of Ukraine’s central role.
President Zelensky was unequivocal in Paris: real peace is possible only through increased pressure on Russia. His stance was firm — the aggressor cannot dictate the terms of resolution.
Ukraine’s Peace Formula is not just acknowledged — it has shaped international dialogue at forums like the UN and the G7. Its foundation is clear: no concessions to the aggressor, full respect for sovereignty, and accountability as the cornerstone of peace.
The notion of “talking about Ukraine without Ukraine” is a direct violation of international law and the principles enshrined in the UN Charter. Sovereignty is not negotiable. Any peace deal that excludes Ukraine undermines the global rules-based order.
Western support for Ukraine is not waning — it is strategic, long-term, and rooted in the understanding that Europe’s security depends on Ukraine’s. Peace built on justice, not on appeasement, is the only sustainable path forward.
