All partners understand who should take the steps before the end of this war - President's appeal

The first is that all partners understand who should take the steps before the end of this war. It is a Russian war, it is Russia's aggression, and it is Russia that should go to ceasefire and real diplomacy that can guarantee peace. Ukraine is clearly supported, and I am very grateful to all partners. Everyone also units the understanding that Russia's war against Ukraine is a war in Europe and against Europe.

All the decisions that will be made to end this war and to guarantee safety really concern the whole of Europe, not someone else. Therefore, the voice of Europe should influence processes. And we agree with our European leaders and our conversations and our meetings to reconcile all positions, as well as on the work of each of us with other leaders, so that Europe's positions are protected. We plan some meetings on the continent.

Third - of course, everyone knows exactly that key decisions in Russia are made by one person. And that this person is afraid of the sanctions of the United States of America. And it is true that Ukraine is a participant in negotiations. Russia's war against Ukraine, against our independence as the embodiment of the independence of every European nation. Therefore, the format of meetings, leaders' meetings is, in particular, a tripartite format.

And we talked about it in detail yesterday - about several bilateral formats, a tripartite format. About all opportunities. I am grateful to Trump President for openness to finding really solutions. We in Ukraine are convinced that this war can end with a long peace. But all the steps should be very weighted - exactly the ones that work. There are good signals from the IMF on their readiness to support Ukraine in the future. Just as clear and good signals from the European Union.

I thank! Today there will be a conversation of security advisers of Ukraine, other European countries, and the American representative - there will be a representative of President Trump. All details will be discussed. We need truly coordinated and sought approaches to diplomacy. Today I will talk to the head of Italy's government George Meloni. She always gives good advice.
