Source: Zelenskyy's speech at the 4th Ukraine–Southeast Europe Summit in Odesa, as reported by Interfax-Ukraine Quote: "And finally, again, we're here in our beautiful city, in Odesa. This beautiful city is a target for Russia. It wants to destroy it like it did countless cities and villages in occupied territories. Russian war plans point to this region – Odesa, and then toward the borders with Moldova and Romania. Of course, we need protection now. But even more, we need long-term guarantees that this can never happen again." Details: Zelenskyy urged summit participants to view post-war security guarantees as a practical necessity. Quote: "From air defence to cyber threats – we need real tools for deterrence and rapid response. Let's look at our agreements, armies and infrastructure – and strengthen everything that keeps our nations safe." Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
