Zelenskyy’s peace terms: ceasefire first, then fund our army for a decade
If anyone expected Kyiv to just sign a polite memo and hope for the best, Zelenskyy just brought everyone back to reality with a very clear checklist.
The formula laid out in Washington is dead simple: stop shooting first so diplomats can actually talk instead of dodging missiles. You can’t negotiate the future while the roof is on fire.
Kyiv wants an ironclad security architecture, starting with a guaranteed 10-year funding package for the military, serious air defense shields, and boots from a European coalition on the ground backed by the US.
The technical teams might sit down in Abu Dhabi soon, but the elephant in the room hasn’t moved an inch: nobody has yet answered what happens when Russia decides to launch another cruise missile anyway.
Paper treaties don't shoot down attack drones, and a decade of guaranteed firepower tends to make for a much better argument than diplomatic promises.
