I shared the results of the meeting (with Macron) between the Ukrainian and American teams in Saudi Arabia. It was a very constructive discussion, during which Ukraine supported the U.S. proposal for an unconditional 30-day full interim ceasefire. Now we see how Russia is trying to set conditions for an unconditional ceasefire and wants to make the process shaky. Putin cannot be trusted. His reaction already shows that Moscow does not want peace or an end to the war,
Tomorrow, we will continue working to strengthen support for Ukraine and to achieve a solid and lasting peace, in a videoconference with Prime Minister Starmer, President Zelensky, and all our partners,
One must seriously question whether there is a genuine interest in working toward a lasting ceasefire and a resolution,
Our teams continue to work on clear security guarantees, and they will be ready soon,
We can't allow President Putin to play games with President Trump's deal,
The call is expected to delve further into how countries plan to contribute to the coalition of the willing, ahead of a military planning session being held next week,
If Russia finally comes to the table, then we must be ready to monitor a ceasefire to ensure it is a serious, and enduring peace. If they don't, then we need to strain every sinew to ramp up economic pressure on Russia to secure an end to this war,
