During a recent address, he stated that Ukraine's fight for NATO membership is achievable but must extend beyond traditional diplomatic settings, urging daily engagement to shape public opinion. Zelenskyy highlighted the necessity of tangible results in various global relations and the importance of freezing and confiscating Russian assets as part of diplomatic efforts. He also noted the year 2025 will be pivotal due to expected changes in the U.S. administration and elections in key European nations. To bolster these efforts, Zelenskyy announced a reshuffle of Ukrainian ambassadors, including significant appointments in several countries. He reaffirmed that Ukraine's security guarantees hinge on its relationship with NATO and the need for a comprehensive peace strategy to deter further Russian aggression.
