From the Keynote speech by President von der Leyen at the GLOBSEC Forum 2024:
"there is something else we already know. Peace cannot be taken for granted. You warned already years ago about #Putin 's intentions. Well, we should have listened better to Central and Eastern Europe."
Kriszta Satori
" in no language is peace synonymous with surrender. In no language is sovereignty synonymous with occupation. So those who argue to stop support for #Ukraine do not argue for peace. They argue for appeasement and the subjugation of Ukraine."
Kriszta Satori
"Some politicians ... blame the war not on the invader but on the invaded; not on #Putin 's lust for power but on #Ukraine 's thirst for freedom. So I want to ask them: Would you ever blame #Hungarians for the #Soviet invasion of #1956 ? Would you ever blame #Czechs for the Soviet repression of #1968 ? The answer to these questions is very clear: The #Kremlin 's behaviour was illegal and atrocious back then. And the Kremlin's behaviour is illegal and atrocious today. "
Kriszta Satori
"while many outside #Europe are pre-occupied only with the end of fighting, my position is that peace is not simply the absence of war. Peace is a settlement that makes war impossible and unnecessary. Therefore, we must put #Ukraine in the condition of negotiating such peace. And this is why the integration of Ukraine in our European Union is for us at the heart of our peace effort."
