Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The President emphasized that there are no signals that the Kremlin is preparing to end the war in Ukraine. On the day of the talks in Alaska, the enemy continues to kill. This says a lot about the real intentions of the Russian regime and Putin.
The day before, we discussed with the United States of America, with the Europeans, what could really work. Everyone needs an honest end to the war. Ukraine is ready to work as productively as possible to end the war. We hope for a strong American position. Everything will depend on this — the Russians are counting on American power. Exactly on power.
