Ideas about restructuring NATO or forming new alliances are misguided. We must increase pressure on the aggressor.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Chairman of the Kyiv Security Forum and Ukraine's Prime Minister from 2014 to 2016, made this statement during the discussion titled "UKRAINE'S UNBREAKABLE GENERATION: Reflections by General Petraeus – and What Washington Sees" organized by the KSF.

"There are different types of deliberations. For example, let's establish a new type of NATO or let's form a new type of unions. I strongly oppose these kinds of ideas. We still have very strong fundamentals for how to win this war. And it's all about Ukraine, the European Union, NATO, and the United States to realize, mainly for our Western allies, that there is no other path rather than to press like hell on Putin," he noted.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk emphasized, "Not on Ukraine, not to exert the pressure on the victim, but to turn the screw on Putin. To turn the screw on those who support Putin, mainly pariahs like Iran, North Korea, under the umbrella of China."

The KSF Chairman also noted that the aggressor has not stopped attacking Ukraine and harbors criminal intentions toward other territories and unions.

"Designated war criminal Putin is killing Ukrainians, innocent Ukrainians. And this is a clear-cut response to all these different types of peace negotiations that have been occurring during the last, whatever, 13 months, if I'm not mistaken. Let's stop battling all these fantasies. That Putin is eager for any kind of peace. He is bloodthirsty. He wants to kill Ukraine, to take over an entire Ukraine as a country. He wants to dismantle NATO, and he is not the only one. He wants actually to undermine the Western world. And we as Ukrainians are at the forefront of this righteous fight, civilization fight," he said.

Open Ukraine is an international foundation established by Arseniy Yatsenyuk in July 2007 to strengthen Ukraine's authority in the world. The foundation organizes the Kyiv Security Forum every year. This leading international discussion platform focuses on issues of war and peace. The foundation also organizes the Youth Kyiv Security Forum to develop a new generation of Ukrainian leaders.
