Putin will commit demonstrative killings to maintain pressure on Ukraine and Europe, as well as to humiliate diplomatic efforts.

The Russian war machine continues to destroy lives despite everything.

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 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.

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.

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.

This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian strike.

The Russian war machine continues to destroy lives despite everything.

That is why reliable security guarantees are required.

Today was an important step, a demonstration of genuine unity between Europe and the United States.
