The official statement states that the meeting of heads of state, which took place in the United States on February 22, covered several topics at once:

strengthening the American presence in the country — both military and economic.
On Ukraine, I had a one-on-one conversation with President Donald Trump, where he told me what his agenda was, in very short words. He said he had to negotiate. And there is no other option, because that is the only way to end the war.
