It’s crucial that Europe is as united now as it was at the very beginning, as it was in 2022 when the full-scale war began. This unity really helps to reach real peace, and it must stay strong.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has awarded the honorary title of Hero of Ukraine with the Order of the Golden Star to Senior Soldier Denys Lysenko, senior gunner of a mechanized squad in the motorized infantry platoon of the 17th Separate Motorized Infantry Battalion of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade named after Kish Otaman Kost Hordiienko.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a decree enacting the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to impose sanctions against Russia’s military-industrial complex. The measures specifically target manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles employing artificial intelligence, as well as their suppliers.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine is ready to work as productively as possible for the sake of genuine peace. The U.S. President informed about his meeting with the Russian leader in Alaska and the main points of their discussion. The leaders agreed to discuss all details more thoroughly during their meeting in Washington on Monday, August 18.

The time difference with Alaska is eleven hours, so tomorrow will start early for everyone in Europe. We are preparing for the upcoming discussions. Russia must end the war that it itself started and has been dragging out for years. The killings must stop. A meeting of leaders is needed.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed about his recent contacts with partners and stressed that Ukraine’s position is absolutely clear: a just peace and reliable security guarantees are needed. Javier Milei expressed his willingness to make personal efforts toward achieving peace.

The First Lady emphasized that barrier-free development is not a sphere of competition and urged businesses to work together in this area.

In London, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer. The leaders coordinated their next steps and discussed further support for Ukraine.

The leaders clearly articulated a shared position: the path to peace cannot be determined without Ukraine. The participants also agreed that negotiations can only yield results if they are held under a ceasefire.

Ukraine, all of Europe, and the United States are pursuing a common course. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this following a joint phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders.
