Important that America continues to be involved in the peace process.

The negotiation process must involve both American and European representatives at the appropriate level

If the Russians are not ready to stop the killings, there must be stronger sanctions.

I reaffirmed to President Trump that Ukraine is ready for a full and unconditional ceasefire.

The only one who benefits from that is Putin.

There must be stronger sanctions.

We discussed the talks in Istanbul, where the Russians sent a low-level delegation that had no decision-making authority.

Pressure on Russia must continue until it is ready to stop the war.

The authority and voice of the Holy See can play an important role in bringing this war to an end.

Pressure is needed against Russia until they are eager to stop the war.

I confirmed Ukraine’s readiness for genuine diplomacy and stressed the importance of a complete and unconditional ceasefire as soon as possible.

I am ready to accept the proposal for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.

Ukraine has long proposed this - a full and unconditional ceasefire in order to save lives.

Pressure on Russia must be maintained until Russia is ready to end the war.

Ukraine has long proposed this — a full and unconditional ceasefire in order to save lives.

There should be a strong reaction.

Because we all know who actually makes decisions in Russia.

Despite the relatively low level of the Russian delegation, out of respect for President Trump... we still want to try to take at least the first steps towards a ceasefire.

We do not legally recognise any of our temporarily occupied territories as Russian. This is the Ukrainian land.

Our delegation is at the highest level - the ministry of foreign affairs, the office of the president, the military, our intelligence agencies... in order to make any decisions that can lead to just peace.

From what we see, it looks more like a decorative deployment by Moscow.

Anything other than an agreement on an unconditional ceasefire would be a failure.

Everything in Russia depends on Putin.

We now await similar steps from Russia.

I informed the Pope about the agreement between Ukraine and our partners that, starting today, a full and unconditional ceasefire for at least 30 days must begin.
