Russia is mocking the world's peacekeeping efforts -- dragging out the war and perpetrating this terror because it still feels no real pressure.

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.

But no matter what we say to our partners today, we need to get Putin to give a real order to stop the strikes.

Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, despite its propaganda statements, do not stop.

Negotiating without Ukraine, in my view, will not be productive

We are skeptical when it comes to trusting the Russians.

Only a real halt to Russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure can signal a genuine desire to end this war and bring peace closer.

What could President Putin say or do that would give you more optimism about this peace process? And he said to return all the prisoners of war.

One of the first steps toward fully ending the war could be ending strikes on energy and other civilian infrastructure.

We have received the signals from the American side that we are most likely talking about the energy facilities ceasefire, not to strike on the energy facilities of both countries, and energy infrastructure.

If the Russians do not strike our facilities, we will certainly not strike theirs.

Just assurances and only Putin's words that he orders not to strike energy facilities -- that is not enough.

If President Trump can find time — he is a busy man — if he has time he can phone at any time, we are ready to pick up.

We will support any proposals that lead to a sustainable, just peace. But for this we must understand what is at stake.

Today, Putin effectively rejected the proposal for a full ceasefire.

Unfortunately, there have been hits, specifically on civilian infrastructure.

Pressure must be applied to the one who does not want to stop the war. Pressure must be put on Russia.

Every day of war means losing the lives of our people – the most valuable thing we have.

Putin often does this — he does not say ‘no’ directly, but he does it in such a way that practically everything only delays it and makes normal decisions impossible.

Putin often does this — he does not say 'no' directly, but he does it in such a way that … only delays and makes normal decisions impossible.

Putin is lying about the real situation on the battlefield.

Putin cannot exit this war because that would leave him with nothing.

Russia is the only party that wants the war to continue and diplomacy to break down.

I am very serious (about a ceasefire) and for me it is important to end the war.
