It’s all-important that security guarantees remain on the table—and that they work for Ukraine, for real and lasting peace.

Unfortunately, President Trump, whom I have great respect for him as a leader of a nation that we have great respect for, the American people who always support us, unfortunately lives in this disinformation space.

Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect… is living in this disinformation space.

It is critical that any negotiations to end the war are not happening behind the backs of the key parties affected by the Russian aggression.

Any country has bilateral relations with other countries; please, discuss whatever you want, but you cannot make decisions without Ukraine on how to end the war in Ukraine, the terms, or other conditions.

I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never.

This is the war in Ukraine, against us, and it’s our human losses.

Ukraine will not take part in the talks in Saudi Arabia. Ukraine did not know anything about them.

Ukraine regards any negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine as having no results.

I didn't let the ministers sign a relevant agreement because in my view it is not ready to protect us, our interest.

we can't rule out that America might say 'no' to Europe on issues that might threaten it.

we don’t want anyone making decisions behind our backs and I think this is fair.

Ukraine and Europe—meaning the European Union, Turkey, and Britain—must be included in the talks and the development of necessary security guarantees that affect the fate of our part of the world, together with America.

Today, Europe, NATO countries and the United States could give Ukraine hope, strong security guarantees, hope that Ukraine will become a NATO member.

I didn’t let the ministers sign a relevant agreement because in my view it is not ready to protect us, our interest.

Ukraine will never accept deals made behind our backs.

The question is not what Ukraine can give, but what can Ukraine get?

If the U.S. left NATO, the risk that Russia will occupy Europe, is 100 percent.

Ukraine regards any talks about Ukraine without Ukraine as such that have no result, and we cannot recognise... agreements about us without us.

Ukraine would have a low chance to survive without support of the United States.

I would never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine.

Ukraine would not accept a deal made behind our backs without our involvement.

Decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending.

I would never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never.

I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never.
