In Washington, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with President of Finland Alexander Stubb, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer, President of the Council of Ministers of Italy Giorgia Meloni, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
The leaders coordinated their positions ahead of the negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump, which will take place today in Washington.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the partners for their efforts aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace and for their active participation in diplomatic work.
All participants of the meeting underlined the importance of a common position on the future peace agreement. They stressed their firm support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and the unacceptability of changing internationally recognized state borders by force.
The leaders welcomed the readiness of the United States to participate in guaranteeing security for Ukraine. One of the key issues in the negotiations with President Trump will be the joint participation of the United States and Europe in creating the future security architecture for Ukraine and, consequently, for the entire European continent.
President of France Emmanuel Macron and Federal Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz will also take part in the joint meeting of the leaders of Ukraine, other European countries, the EU, and NATO with the U.S. President.
