First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska addressed the participants of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia, where the Ukrainian Pavilion features the exhibition DAKH: Vernacular Hardcore.

The leaders discussed the outcomes of the first five-party meeting in the United Europe in Ukraine format and the Coalition of the Willing meeting, including the implementation of the decision to launch a full, unconditional ceasefire starting May 12 for at least 30 days.

At St. Sophia’s Cathedral, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer held a bilateral meeting.

The leaders visited the Wall of Remembrance on Mykhailivska Square, laid flowers, and honored the memory of the fallen Ukrainian warriors. Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer paid tribute to the heroism and courage of Ukrainians who gave their lives in the fight against Russian aggression.

“We all have just spoken with President Trump, and we agreed on our shared vision and our further actions. A full and unconditional ceasefire is urgently needed. Accountability for any refusal is essential. Under such a ceasefire, we will be able to jointly agree on the foundations for peace,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.

Ukraine is ready to move towards peace quickly and constructively. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this during his speech at the meeting of the leaders of the Coalition of the Willing: Supporting Ukraine – Securing Our Future, which took place in Kyiv.
