We are building a Ukraine that will have enough strength and power to live in security and peace.

The Public Record
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine, having taken office in May 2019. A former comedian and television producer, he gained prominence through his role in the television series 'Servant of the People,' where he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president. Zelenskyy ran for office as a political outsider, campaigning on anti-corruption and reform agendas. His leadership has been particularly noted during the ongoing conflict with Russia, where he has sought to rally international support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
We are building a Ukraine that will have enough strength and power to live in security and peace.
So far, there has been no signal from Moscow that they are really going to engage in meaningful negotiations and end this war.
Last night, the Russian army set one of its insane anti-records. They struck civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, and our people.
The Russians carried out this attack as if nothing has changed at all, as if there are no global efforts to stop this war. This requires a response.
I asked President Trump to pass along a letter of gratitude from Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska, to Melania. Her voice matters, and her care gives strength to this cause.
This issue lies at the heart of the war’s humanitarian tragedy — our children, broken families, the pain of separation. At least 20,000 children were taken.
This is a part, I think. It’s not a part for the war and to defend us; it also will be a part for security guarantees to strengthen our army, to rearm Ukrainian army.
We will work to negotiate all-for-all prisoners of war exchange, and we are grateful to have strong friends who help.
Putin will commit demonstrative killings to maintain pressure on Ukraine and Europe, as well as to humiliate diplomatic efforts.
I am confident that we will defend Ukraine, effectively guarantee security, and that our people will always be grateful to President Trump, everyone in America, and every partner and ally for their support and invaluable assistance.
First of all, I don’t know what Putin and President Trump actually talked about, and I want President Trump to tell me a lot of details.
We don’t just need a ceasefire. We’ve done that before—Putin violated it 25 times, including during your presidency, Mr. President.
Russia must end this war, which it itself started. And I hope that our joint strength with America, with our European friends, will force Russia into a real peace.
I noted that it is necessary to limit the export of Russian energy, particularly oil, to reduce its potential and ability to finance the continuation of this war.
Thank you very much for your efforts, personal efforts to stop the killings and stop this war.
Today was an important step, a demonstration of genuine unity between Europe and the United States.
The first one is security guarantees. And we are very happy with President [Trump], that all the leaders are here, and security in Ukraine depends on the United States and European countries.
