Petro Poroshenko to CNN on eve of the 2nd Trump-Zelenskiy meeting

President Trump has taking that off the table now saying a ceasefire is not important before a larger peace deal. Why do you feel a ceasefire is so important? Because Putin and I have this exactly experience in year 2014-2015 when we discussing Minsk agreement. This is the most clear message how to stop the war. Ceasefire you can make immediately within very short period of time. Ceasefire means stop killing Ukrainian innocent civilian citizens. Ceasefire means stop losing time. Ceasefire is extremely important step for launching the peace process and Putin want to have a blah blah blah about peace process because he could continue without any limits the war. Putin is fed by the war and with that situation I definitely count on President Trump because President Trump is a deal maker and unfortunately Putin is a troublemaker and we it's very difficult to negotiate peace when every single hour you have a missiles on your head. When this night we have people killed in Kharkiv in Odessa attack on Kiev this is not a position for providing ceasefire. So what do you think Mr. President what do you think then of President Trump taking the ceasefire off the table? What do you think of President Trump no longer demanding that ceasefire? First of all nothing is agreed until everything's and with that situation I have absolutely positive experience how to work with President Trump for three years during my presidential term and I just want to remind that during my term me together with the Trump issued so-called means oh sorry Crimea declaration and that was issued by State Department of United States under the instruction of President Trump and when we have this declaration original is in my office and we have a signature that United States never recognized occupied Crimea as a Russian territory. This create absolutely dangerous precedent but we you cannot find any other nation in the world who wants peace more than we Ukraine and today we keeping fingers crossed and pray that we have a success in the White House. We cannot allow anymore the catastrophe on the 28th of February in the Oval Office when they tried to undermine the trust between Ukraine and United States. That's why it's so important and I'm absolutely count that the position of Ukraine can be listening and I can give you within one minute. So on contrary the territorial swap is off the table and we should protect not only Ukrainian land or Ukrainian borders 1991 territory. We should protect Ukraine as a free and democratic country. We should protect our armed forces who is protecting peace and security in Europe. We should protect in our language and our national identity and we should protect our faith because Putin attack even our church and with this situation we should keep the door to NATO and the door to European Union open not accepting any blackmail. Well you know overnight President Trump said that Crimea is not part of this discussion and that NATO should not be part of this discussion so two of the things that you deem important he just took off the table. No I'm ready to set that Crimea and NATO is not the part of discussion today because today the most important part of the discussion is the ceasefire but we never rejected from Crimea we never accepted the NATO but that would be the future negotiation point and because of the fact that this is definitely in the our constitution this is important and other things you should understand so this is not the opinion of President Zelensky or President Poroshenko Ukrainian people never accept the situation with the Crimea land swap and this means that Putin and this is the Putin who insist on that Putin want to bring to our country house because he don't need territory of Donetsk Lugansk he need whole of Ukraine and the only way how can they receive this Ukraine is house and that help him to bring pro-Kremlin government which is impossible let me very quickly understand that. We heard from Steve Whitkoff over the weekend suggesting again some kind of a land swap might be discussed in Donetsk if Vladimir Putin were to provide guarantees that he would not invade further in in exchange for that all of Donbass all of Donetsk would you trust him would you trust the promises from Vladimir Putin? First of all from all my experience please don't trust Putin. Second don't be afraid of Putin and third I have as a president of Ukraine I have a security guarantee in form of Budapest Memorandum. This is not working. Any other security guarantee except of the binding this is the unacceptable and the only after Putin as a in Russia permanent member of Security Council United Nations attack us this is ruin all post-war security system and the only guarantee which is exist in this world is a NATO membership but until we will not be we waiting for the opening door of NATO we accept Finnish type of security guarantee that would be Article 5 until we become a member.
