I wish you good health, fellow Ukrainians!
Today, we continue to work very actively with our partners. I have already spoken with the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb; the President of the Council of Ministers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni; the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz; the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen; and also the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. I have more conversations scheduled today – the day is far from over. We need joint positions and even more coordinated efforts. Diplomacy is stronger when we are united.
We are discussing with our partners the details and ideas from yesterday’s conversation with U.S. President Trump. It is important that America remains engaged in the process of bringing peace closer. It is America that Russia fears, and it is American influence that can save many lives, if used as leverage to make Putin end the war. We are talking with our partners about future meetings with the Russians – direct negotiations that Ukraine is fully ready for, in any format that yields results. I thank everyone who is helping us.
