Today President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with US President Donald Trump together with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk discussing the recent Istanbul talks between Ukraine and Russia. “Ukraine is ready to take the fastest possible steps to bring real peace, and it is important that the world holds a strong stance,” President Zelenskyy stressed. “Our position — if the Russians reject a full and unconditional ceasefire and an end to killings, tough sanctions must follow. Pressure on Russia must be maintained until Russia is ready to end the war. Thank you to everyone in the world who is helping.“
