Yulia Tymoshenko: The only way to peace in Europe is victory over Russia

Yuliya Timoshenko

The only way to peace in Ukraine and Europe is a victory over Putin's regime on the battlefield in our country. Our strength is in our unity.

Yulia Tymoshenko announced this on September 2, speaking at the conference "Estoril Conferences-2022" in Portugal.

The leader of the Batkivshchyna party noted that the world is currently talking about two ways to peace: victory over Putin's regime in Ukraine or appeasement of the aggressor by concluding a peace agreement with him.

According to her, the peace treaty that the aggressor offers to Ukraine consists of four parts: surrender the conquered territories and come to terms with it; refuse membership in NATO; reduce the Ukrainian army; "denazification" of our state.

"No one in Ukraine - from the president to the child - will agree to these conditions. It is impossible. This is not the road to peace, it is the road to continued war. Therefore, together with the 50 countries that united in Ramstein, we will definitely achieve victory over the Kremlin," Yulia Tymoshenko emphasized.

First Deputy Chairman of the VRU Committee on Foreign Policy Hryhoriy Nemyrya, who is also participating in the conference, urged to remember the lessons of the past before talking about peace negotiations with the aggressor.

"Many thought that Putin had enough of Crimea and Donbas, but he went further. What is the price of Russia's security guarantees? In 1994, Ukraine gave up the third largest nuclear arsenal and received instead the Budapest Memorandum, which was also signed by Russia. Now one of the guarantors of this Memorandum - Russia - has started a war against Ukraine. How can you conduct peace negotiations with such a country?" - he was indignant.

On September 1-2, the Nova School of Business and Economics, under the patronage of the President of Portugal and with the support of the European Commission, held the "Estoril Conferences-2022" conference in Cascais (Portugal). The main theme of the 7th conference was "Restoring the balance in the world: a call to the Generation of Purpose" in the light of existing global challenges, in particular, Russia's war against Ukraine.

Among the speakers of this year's conference: President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, President of the European Parliament Roberta Metzola, former President of Poland Aleksandar Kwasniewski, former President of Croatia Kolinda Grabar-Kitarowicz, Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Appelbaum, Director General of the International Organization for Migration Antonio Vitorino, political scientist Francis Fukuyama and other.

Since 2009, Estoril Conferences has held six powerful events, attended by a large number of representatives of politics, business, universities and civil society, including 9000 participants from more than 100 different countries, and more than 300 world-renowned speakers. Among them were several Nobel laureates and more than 30 current and former heads of state, such as Tony Blair, Edward Snowden, Joseph Stiglitz, Mary Robinson, Mohamed ElBaradei, Farida Khalaf and many others.
