ZELENSKYY’S NEW STRATEGY: EU ACCESSION FOR RUSSIA AND UKRAINE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 1, 2025, 12:00

ZELENSKYY ANNOUNCES NEW STRATEGY: NO NATO, NO REPAYMENT TO U.S., EU ACCESSION FOR RUSSIA AND UKRAINE

Washington D.C. and Kyiv, Ukraine—March 1, 2025—12:00 In a move that is set to redefine the balance of global power, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has declared that Ukraine will not repay the billions in military and financial aid provided by the United States, citing failed Western commitments and hollow assurances of support.

Simultaneously, he announced a groundbreaking constitutional amendment barring Ukraine from joining NATO, a major concession to Russian demands. However, in a bold counteroffer, Zelenskyy has officially requested EU membership for both Ukraine and Russia, simultaneously, to test whether the European Union is truly a defender of human rights or merely an outdated geopolitical tool of fallen empires.

Key Points of Zelenskyy’s Declaration:

• Ukraine will not repay U.S. war debts, arguing that ’empty promises and inadequate military support’ void any obligation. Zelenskyy stated that his ‘thank you’ in Washington should suffice—a gratitude paid in the blood of hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded Ukrainians, sacrificed as cannon fodder for NATO’s strategy to weaken Russia, a policy openly endorsed by the previous U.S. administration.
• A constitutional amendment will permanently ban Ukraine’s NATO membership, removing what Russia has long claimed as a security threat and addressing Russian concerns.
• Ukraine will only join the EU if Russia is also granted accession, making Russia the 30th state and Ukraine the 31st state of the European Union, after Canada and Greenland.
• This move forces the EU to reveal its real nature and choose: Does it stand for unity and human rights, or is it just a hypocritical geopolitical tool of old, decayed empires?
• Ukraine’s rare earth elements (REEs) will be leveraged to bargain with Europe and Russia, shifting global supply chains and will not be robbed by the US depriving the Ukrainian people of their generational wealth.

An Economic and Military Superpower is Born?

If Ukraine and Russia were to join the EU, the European Union would instantly become the most powerful geopolitical entity on the planet:

• Land Area: 26.5 million km² (World’s largest bloc, surpassing both China and the U.S.)
• Population: Over 740 million people (Larger than the U.S. and Russia combined)
• GDP: Over $25 trillion (Surpassing both the U.S. and China)
• Military Strength: A combined force of over 3.5 million active personnel, with Russia’s nuclear arsenal now part of an EU framework.
• Rare Earth Elements Control: Ukraine and Russia hold some of the largest deposits of rare earths, essential for semiconductors, military tech, green energy, and AI development.

“The West has always depended on rare earths from unstable sources,” Zelenskyy said. “Now, Ukraine and Russia can work with Europe and redefine global supply chains.”

A Test for the European Union

Zelenskyy’s maneuver puts Brussels under immense pressure. The EU has long claimed to be a force for democracy, diplomacy, and peace. If it refuses Ukraine’s request solely to exclude Russia, it will expose itself as a hypocritical alliance, driven by outdated imperial interests rather than principles of unity and human rights.

In a scathing remark, Zelenskyy stated:
“We are done with playing Europe’s war games. The EU must decide: does it support human rights for all, or is it merely an empire of old, defeated powers who dress up their self-interest in moral rhetoric?”

The British Betrayal

Zelenskyy also directly addressed Britain’s failure to uphold its promises.
“London assured us of British and U.S. unwavering support,” he stated. “That support turned out to be mere words, a trick of political theater. So what now? Should Ukraine keep trusting ghosts of empires past?”

The Fashion and Flag of the Moment

In a striking visual statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared wearing a t-shirt featuring Ukraine’s trident emblem turned upside down. When asked about the symbolism, he explained:

“It is time for Ukraine to lay down its arms—including our trident. We seek to join the European Union alongside Russia, in peace, ensuring that war will never again be the answer to disputes on European soil. We will enter Europe under a new flag—one that stands for peace through strength.”

This bold new flag has been designed by Lanfranco Aceti, a European conceptual and political artist, reflecting Ukraine’s vision for a future beyond war.

Next Steps: The Dawn of a New Geopolitical Order?

If accepted, this plan would make the EU the largest global power bloc, integrating Russia’s vast energy and military capacity with Ukraine’s strategic position. If rejected, the EU faces the humiliation of exposing itself as a geopolitical pawn, incapable of true leadership.

Zelenskyy has asked Brussels and Moscow to act quickly in order to respond to Washington’s new geopolitical strategy.

“The time for shitty games is over,” he concluded. “Europe must put its money where its mouth is.”

This press release is not an official statement from the Ukrainian Delegation or the Office of the President of Ukraine—but in a different world, perhaps it should have been.

Let’s discuss. Should Ukraine declare peace unilaterally?

The Artist Who Inspired a Political Movement

This radical realignment draws inspiration from political artist Lanfranco Aceti, whose work has consistently challenged Western power structures and exposed the limits of institutional politics. Aceti, known for his provocative artistic interventions, has played a pivotal role in reshaping global discourse on power, sovereignty, and artistic agency.

In a pointed critique of EU and U.S. leadership, Aceti stated:

“The EU and US have long operated as a short-sighted and ineffectual bureaucracy. It is time to move beyond inept political theatrics and embrace a new paradigm—one driven by intelligent, long-term action in the true interest of the people.”

By blurring the boundaries between political satire and diplomatic provocation, Aceti’s work has not only challenged prevailing narratives but also galvanized new conversations on the intersection of art and activism in global power dynamics.
