Instead of proposing premature peace talks with Russia, which does not seek a peace process, the goal of partners should be a victory for Ukraine, which will bring a sustainable and just peace to the European continent, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
“We need a victory, not a draw. If we allow Russia to take a pause now, Putin will create a frozen conflict in the middle of Europe, a giant time bomb that will be ready to explode every second. It would be a strategic mistake for Europe to pursue such a goal. I caution Ukraine’s partners: do not offer us compromises on conscience, territorial integrity or sovereignty. Because it will be your compromises with your own security,” he said in a video address to the participants of the Pan-European Union jubilee congress, which is held on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the organization in Vienna.
According to Kuleba, no country in the world strives for peace as much as Ukraine, but “wars like this one must end with the victory of good over evil.
He called on partners to work together to achieve Ukraine’s victory goals.
“We should not be subjected to fear and blackmail. Every time we Europeans have remained firm, principled, united and strong, Putin has always backed down. Any sign of weakness is seen by Russia as an invitation to further terror and atrocities. That is why support for Ukraine must continue and intensify, and no retreat from the sanctions pressure on Russia is acceptable,” the minister stressed.
Kuleba noted that now is the time for partners to set a goal of victory for Ukraine and work to achieve it, instead of looking for premature peace agreements with Russia, because Moscow has not changed its ultimative tone and uses statements about alleged readiness for negotiations only as a cover for continued aggression. .
“Real peace will be brought by a Ukrainian victory. This goal is quite achievable, as proved by the Kharkov and Kherson operations this fall. A Ukrainian victory would also be a victory for Europe and the West. It will renew peace and security on our continent for decades,” he said.
The minister stressed that the support of international partners must continue.
“This includes defense support, further isolation of Russia, financial support, urgent assistance in rebuilding our energy system damaged by Russian strikes. I remind you that aid to Ukraine is not charity. By helping us, European partners are helping themselves, contributing to Europe’s long-term security and stability,” the minister concluded.
Soccer simulator for PlayStation FIFA 23 predicted Argentina’s victory at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Games in the FIFA series have previously successfully predicted the winners of the 2010, 2014 and 2018 championships. This time, the game simulated all 64 matches to be played in Qatar in November and December and concluded that Argentina and Brazil would advance to the final, with Argentina winning 1-0.
The new version of the game used technology HyperMotion2, which provides ultra-realistic gameplay, as well as current FIFA ratings of all national teams in the world. If the prediction of the simulator is correct, Argentina and Brazil will meet in the World Cup finals for the first time in history.
FIFA 23 also predicted that the Golden Boot, the prize for the tournament’s best striker, would go to Argentine captain and French club PSG striker Leo Messi. He will score eight goals in seven matches, including the decisive goal in the championship final.
The situation will be more complicated with the choice of the winner of the Golden Glove, the prize for the best goalkeeper of the tournament. The game predicted Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patriciu, Brazilian Alyson Becker, Croatian Dominic Livakovic and Argentine Emiliano Martinez would have an equal chance of winning the award. In the end, Martinez will receive the award as the player who has gone the furthest with his national team.
FIFA 23 also predicted some unexpected outcomes, such as the U.S. team out of the group in first place and leaving only in the quarterfinals and semi-final between Brazil and Portugal 0-0, with Brazil winning on penalties (5:4).
The third-place match will pit Portugal against reigning world champion France, who will win 4-2.
