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.

“There must be a ceasefire – number one. There must be security guarantees – truly reliable ones. And today, by the way, President Trump voiced his support for this and the United States’ readiness to take part. Among the agreed principles is also that Russia cannot have veto power over Ukraine’s European and NATO prospects. And peace talks should be combined with proper pressure on Russia,” the President added.

Everything concerning Ukraine must be discussed exclusively with Ukraine. We need to prepare a trilateral format of talks. There must be a ceasefire – number one. There must be security guarantees – truly reliable ones. And today, by the way, President Trump voiced his support for this and the United States’ readiness to take part.

The President and the Chancellor exchanged details of their recent contacts with partners and outlined the main parameters for further discussions. Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Friedrich Merz agreed that as long as Russia takes no steps toward peace, pressure on it must be maintained and the strengthening of Ukraine must continue.
