I thank the European Union and European institutions for actively participating in the development of security guarantees. I want to emphasize: we are building a security system that will begin functioning during the war, remain in place after the war, and be fully deployed. Many details have already been worked out.

Building security infrastructure to push Russia toward peace, reducing Russia’s revenues from energy exports, and supporting European business can influence Europe’s collective security system. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in his address to the participants of the Ambrosetti International Economic Forum.

Even though Russia is trying to keep this war going, we’ve already started building a security system that can push Russia toward peace. 

First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska took part in an extended meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council on Mental Health.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked President Trump for his support and noted that the discussion centered on how to move the situation toward real peace. In particular, the leaders discussed a full set of sanctions that could deprive Russia of the ability to finance the war.

The Coalition of the Willing is working very actively – the military, politicians, advisors. Significant groundwork has been laid. Our teams have worked for many days and weeks. We now understand what the foundation of real security guarantees should be. The basic framework is in place. We also understand that security guarantees are not about the future, “someday” – they also apply to the situation right now.
