This afternoon, I will welcome Zelenskyy in Brussels.

Together, we will participate in the Coalition of Willing VTC.

Great to have you here, dear Zelenskyy

We continue our cooperation to achieve a just peace that respects Ukraine & Europe's vital security interests.

With the Coalition of the Willing in Brussels today, and in the White House with POTUS tomorrow

Coordination meeting this morning with President Trump, President Zelensky, and my European partners following the meeting between President Trump and President Putin in Alaska.

At the conclusion of this meeting, we continued our discussions with my European counterparts. We are aligned in stating:

→ that it is essential to continue supporting Ukraine and to maintain pressure on Russia as long as its war of aggression continues and until a solid and lasting peace, respectful of Ukraine’s rights, has been established;

→ that any lasting peace must be accompanied by unwavering security guarantees. I welcome, in this regard, the readiness of the United States to contribute. We will work on this with them and with all our partners in the Coalition of the Willing, with whom we will meet again soon, to make concrete progress. It will also be essential to draw all the lessons from the past 30 years, in particular from Russia’s well-established tendency not to honor its own commitments.

We will continue to work closely with POTUS Donald Trump and President Zelenskyy to safeguard our interests in a spirit of unity and responsibility.

I have already arrived in Washington, tomorrow I am meeting with President Trump.
Tomorrow we are also speaking with European leaders. I am grateful to POTUS for the invitation.

We all share a strong desire to end this war quickly and reliably. And peace must be lasting.
Not like it was years ago, when Ukraine was forced to give up Crimea and part of our East—part of Donbas—and Putin simply used it as a springboard for a new attack.

Or when Ukraine was given so called “security guarantees” in 1994, but they didn't work. Of course, Crimea should not have been given up then, just as Ukrainians did not give up Kyiv, Odesa, or Kharkiv after 2022.

Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for their independence.
Now, our soldiers have successes in Donetsk and Sumy regions.

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.
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. Thank you!

The Fake News has been saying for 3 days that I suffered a “major defeat” by allowing President Vladimir Putin of Russia to have a major Summit in the United States.

Actually, he would have loved doing the meeting anywhere else but the U.S., and the Fake News knows this. It was a major point of contention! If we had the Summit elsewhere, the Democrat run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was.

These people are sick! They even want CRIME IN D.C., and other BLUE Cities throughout our Country, but don’t worry, I won’t let that happen. Just like our now secure Southern Border (ZERO illegals in last 3 months!), our cities will be Secure and Safe, and D.C. will lead the way!

President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.

Remember how it started.
No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!
