Zelensky invites Mexico to join Ukrainian Peace Formula
He said this in his address to the General Congress of the United Mexican States on April 20, according to Ukrinform.
"More than five months ago, I presented the Ukrainian Peace Formula. It happened at the G20 Summit in Indonesia. The Formula is an expression of our experience, which we have gained in protecting life, fighting for a diplomatic solution. How does Russia respond to the Peace Formula? Shelling, assaults, murders," Zelensky said.
He noted that "the world and our striving for peace are stronger than any aggressor."
According to Zelensky, the Ukrainian Peace Formula is addressed primarily to the world - and this is its strength. It is addressed to everyone who can participate in the implementation of specific points of the Formula and become a co-creator of the victory over evil - a co-creator of peace.
"Now that Russia feels its weakening and the approach of its defeat on the battlefield, Moscow is again trying to deceive the world with its hypocrisy and gain time to regroup, find new weapons, continue aggression. This cannot be allowed. Peace must become irreplaceable. That is why evil must lose. That is why we turn to the world for support. That is why we call on all conscientious states to join global efforts to implement the Ukrainian Peace Formula. And I invite you to choose which clause of the Peace Formula allows Mexico to show leadership!" Zelensky said.
He recalled that Ukraine had already proposed to the Latin American community to convene a special summit and speak unitedly in defense of the globally important principles of territorial integrity, peace and respect between peoples, and the sovereignty of nations.
"I believe, with the help of Mexico, it can happen much faster!" Zelensky said.
