The President emphasized that achieving real peace "requires the determination of America, the unity of Europe, and the commitment of all partners to uphold the goals and principles of the UN Charter."
“There is no need to play for one's own image at the expense of unity – we must care for common success. It is precisely unity in Europe that always brings success,” the president stated, adding that discussions about the war against Ukraine cannot occur without Ukraine itself.
Zelensky also expressed gratitude to elected U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders for their intention to “find the right and strong solutions” for the sake of peace.
