On 24 February 2024, the Victor Pinchuk Foundation and Yalta European Strategy (YES) held a discussion “Survival, Victory, Peace ” on the occasion of the YES meeting in Kyiv “Two Years - Stay in the Fight” dedicated to the second anniversary of Ukraine's resistance to the full-scale invasion of Russia. Speakers discussed Ukraine’s fight for life, freedom and rules-based order as well as how to aid Ukrainians' victory in this fight for us all.
In a panel discussion moderated by Aleksander Kwasniewski, President of Poland (1995-2005), and Chairman of the Board of YES, The Rt Hon Boris Johnson, Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Andriy Yermak, Head, Office of the President of Ukraine, discussed what Ukraine needs to win, and what changes need to be made to the world order when it does, to ensure a lasting peace for Ukraine and the rest of the world.
Andriy Yermak stated: ""We need weapons, ammunition, air defence to protect our towns, our people and our soldiers. Then we need real steps and real victory - an invitation to join NATO - from the second Washington Summit. Not giving the invitation at to Ukraine at the Washington Summit will prompt new escalation - in the Middle East and in other regions of our planet.”
Alexander Kwasniewski agreed: “We have to do it. When we speak about escalation, we show fear of escalation and it is the wrong thing to do. Please, members of the audience, go back to your governments and support the opening of doors in Washington at this time - we have no more time.”
Boris Johnson declared: “It’s for the Ukrainian people to decide what peace they want. But I believe that in order for that to be possible three things must happen:
1-Give Ukraine the weapons it needs to win
2- Make it absolutely clear that Ukraine belongs in NATO and the EU
3- Take the $300bn of frozen assets and give it to Ukraine.
