That is why reliable security guarantees are required.

The Russian war machine continues to destroy lives despite everything.

This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian strike.

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.

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 really want to get an answer to these questions in order to understand what ‘security guarantees’ are.

So far, Russia gives no sign that trilateral will happen, and if Russia refuses, then new sanctions must follow.

Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at the trilateral Ukraine-United States-Russia.

Putin has been unable to take it for 12 years, and the Constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land.

The contact line is the best line for talking.

We need real negotiations, which means they can start where the front line is now.

It’s impossible to do this under the pressure of weapons.

A security guarantee is a strong army. Only Ukraine can provide that. Only Europe can finance this army, and weapons for this army can be provided by our domestic production and European production.

So far, Russia gives no sign that a trilateral will happen, and if Russia refuses, then new sanctions must follow.

The constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible, impossible to give up territory or trade land.

Putin has many demands, but we do not know all of them. And if there are really as many as we heard, then it will take time to go through them all. It’s impossible to do this under the pressure of weapons. So, it’s necessary to ceasefire…

We all share a strong desire to end this war quickly and reliably. And peace must be lasting.

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 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.

It is important that America agrees to work with Europe to provide security guarantees for Ukraine.

The positions are clear.

We must prepare a trilateral format for the conversation. There must be a ceasefire, number one.

Putin is bluffing in saying he wants peace.

We will not leave Donbas. We cannot do this. Everyone forgets the first part – our territories are illegally occupied.

Sanctions and increasing sanctions on Russia if they are not agreeing to a ceasefire — this is very effective and they are working.
