First Lady of Kyiv tells west to work harder to make peace plan effective

• The First Laday of Kyiv Olena Zelenska spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
• She called for an international war crimes tribunal and prisoners of war to be able to return to Ukraine.
• The plan also calls for food and energy security and strategies for preventing the escalation of hostilities.

If each nation accepts responsibility for one aspect of a 10-point peace plan that the country has put up, Ukraine’s western partners may be able to overcome implementation delays, the first lady of Kyiv stated in an interview that was published on Saturday.

Western allies dashed Ukraine’s hopes for a speedy dispatch of battle tanks as Olena Zelenska spoke from the World Economic Forum in Davos. She claimed that other types of assistance were also needed because the West had failed to provide Ukraine with the armaments it needed to quickly drive out Russian forces, costing lives and destroying much of its infrastructure.

“The plan goes beyond that,” she was quoted as saying. “It also entails judicial demands such as for an international war crimes tribunal… and for prisoners of war to be able to return to Ukraine…

“There is a role that each country can take responsibility for.”

The plan, which was unveiled by Zelenska’s husband, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in November during a G20 conference, also outlines requirements for the provision of food and energy security as well as strategies for preventing the escalation of hostilities in the Euro-Atlantic region.

According to Zelenska, swift armament deliveries would hasten Ukraine’s potential to win the conflict.

For Ukraine, that meant “protecting our land, our talents and our children…,” she said. “The frontiers of this war are the frontiers of Ukraine.”
