Ukraine’s Call for Justice: Zelenskyy Demands Return of POWs and Civilians

Summit Concludes Without Joint Communique

In a significant development following a two-day peace summit in Switzerland, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a strong call for the return of all prisoners of war, including children and civilians who were unlawfully displaced and detained. The summit, aimed at charting a course to end the ongoing war in Ukraine, saw more than 80 countries and international organizations come together. However, it ended without a joint communique as key powers opted out of the agreement.

Zelenskyy’s Call for Action

President Zelenskyy, addressing a press conference post-summit, emphasized the need for a complete exchange to release all prisoners of war. He highlighted the plight of deported Ukrainian children and civilians who have been unlawfully detained, insisting on their immediate return to Ukraine.

Nuclear Safety and Sovereignty

Furthering his address, Zelenskyy stressed the importance of nuclear safety and sovereignty. He asserted that Ukraine must retain control over its nuclear plants, including the Zaporizhzhia facility. The Ukrainian President declared any threat or use of nuclear weapons in the conflict as unacceptable, underlining the gravity of nuclear security amidst war.

A Firm Stance Amidst War

The demands set forth by President Zelenskyy reflect Ukraine’s firm stance on key humanitarian and security issues in the face of conflict. As the world watches on, the resolution of these demands remains pivotal to Ukraine’s path to peace and stability.
