Ukraine cannot be responsible for what happens on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
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.
For over 50 days now, Russia has been ignoring the American proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire.
In practice, either Putin does not have full control over his army, or the situation proves that in Russia, they have no intention of making a genuine move toward ending the war, and are only interested in favorable PR coverage.
We discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out.
Real pressure on Russia is needed so that they accept either the American proposal to cease fire and move towards peace, or our proposal — whichever one can truly work and ensure a reliable, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire, and then…
A very symbolic meeting that has the potential to become historic if we achieve common results.
I agree with President Trump that Ukraine does not have enough weapons to regain control of the Crimean peninsula by force of arms.
Russia continues to kill people and avoid tough pressure and accountability for this.
Emotions have run high today. But it is good that 5 countries met to bring peace closer.
Ukraine was ready for any conversation about a ceasefire that would halt strikes on civilians.
Ukraine maintains its proposal not to strike at the very least civilian targets. And we are expecting a clear response from Moscow.
Either Putin does not have full control over his army, or the situation proves that in Russia, they have no intention of making a genuine move toward ending the war.
Shahed drones in our skies reveal Putin’s true attitude toward Easter and toward human life.
Every defense package for Ukraine from our partners, every form of support from the world for our resilience is literally about protecting lives.
Please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of forms of negotiations, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead.
They're dragging out the talks and trying to get the U.S. stuck in endless, pointless discussions about fake 'conditions' just to buy time and then try to grab more land.
Russia is getting ready for new offensives against the Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Diplomacy can work, but it is backed up by steps that strengthen our soldiers and deprive the occupiers of resources for war.
Russia is mocking the world's peacekeeping efforts -- dragging out the war and perpetrating this terror because it still feels no real pressure.
But no matter what we say to our partners today, we need to get Putin to give a real order to stop the strikes.
