I was asked this week if I see Ukraine as an equal member in the peace process, and I didn't say "yes." However, Ukraine will have a seat at the table. I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine without Ukraine present. This is our war, and these are our human losses. We are thankful for all the support and unity from the USA, including bipartisan support. However, no leader in the world can make a deal with Putin about Ukraine without Ukraine being involved.

In Ukraine, the situation is dire with many lives lost and historic buildings destroyed. Pouring more money into the conflict only prolongs the suffering and increases casualties. Russia's strategy of targeting power plants has left people freezing to death. As president, I believe I could resolve this crisis in just one day. It's crucial to have the power of the office and a strategic approach. The current talks and actions are ineffective, and every passing day benefits Putin while the death toll rises higher than reported. Immediate action is necessary to settle the conflict and prevent further devastation.

I'm aligned with the United States and the world, and I want to end the conflict in Ukraine. It's hard to make a deal with so much hatred, but I'm focused on getting things done for the sake of the world and Europe. I can be tough, but that won't lead to a deal. We tried being tough with Putin, and it didn't work. Diplomacy is the path to peace and prosperity. During past administrations, nobody stopped Putin when he occupied parts of Ukraine and people died. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke them. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about?

Zelensky needs to act swiftly, as the war isn't progressing favorably for Ukraine. I believe I can successfully negotiate an end to the war with Russia, something others have failed to do. Putin may even agree. Zelensky seems unwilling or unable to pursue peace, evident by his frustration over not being invited to Saudi Arabia, and the fact that there have been no productive talks to end the war in three years. The war has resulted in devastating casualties for both sides, with countless lives lost. Ukraine is shattered under his leadership. To end this, you must talk to both sides, which hasn't happened. My hope is to see a ceasefire soon and restore stability in Europe.

We had a meeting with President Zelensky, and it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I believe he overplayed his hand. I'm focused on achieving peace, not engaging in a prolonged war. Zelensky seems intent on continuing the fight, but I'm determined to end the bloodshed. Thousands have died this week, and I care about all lives involved. If we don't act, he'll eventually be forced to make peace, but he'll be in a weaker position. I want immediate peace, and Putin is ready to end this conflict. However, Zelensky appears to want us to sign up and continue fighting, which we won't do. We're setting economic records and the feeling about our country is great. Zelensky needs to express a desire for peace, not dwell on negative comments. I don't trust or distrust, I just want a deal done. A ceasefire should happen now, but he doesn't want it. Without us, he doesn't win.

There is concern from the Europeans that Zelensky is being bullied into signing something away, which is why European leaders are coming as backup tomorrow. They are coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans; the president invited them to come. The president told those European leaders last week that he wanted to cease fire, and he said on television he would walk out if Putin didn’t agree, with severe consequences if he didn’t. He spent three hours with Putin and did not get one. Our goal is a peace agreement to end this war. There was enough progress in the talks to move to the next phase. If peace is not possible and the war continues, thousands will die. The president could impose new sanctions, but that would end talks; it will require concessions from both sides.

I don't know how a trilateral summit with Presidents Zelensky and Putin would work, they don't like each other and the US should never have allowed this situation to happen. I've stopped many wars, even some nobody's heard about. Ukraine wants to stop this war more than anyone. Negotiations should be between Ukraine and Russia, not Russia and the US. The US helps us because we are defending the line. If we fall, Russia will target the Baltics and Poland, and eventually, American soldiers will have to fight. Many Ukrainian cities are still standing. People are working, and children are going to school, even if it's difficult. Ukraine is fighting and living, despite Putin's claims. He has lost many soldiers and hasn't destroyed us.

The UN resolution on Ukraine simply states that the war is terrible and must end, aligning with the UN's purpose to bring about world peace. The Security Council passed its first resolution on Ukraine in three years, thanks to President Trump's leadership, focusing on ending the war and bringing both sides together. Shouldn't we be happy that our president is trying to stop wars instead of starting them? To end the war, both sides, especially the Russians, need to negotiate. It's currently at 0% chance of resolution if we don't get them to the table. This war is dangerous and could escalate, so we need to grow up and realize this. President Trump is committed to achieving peace, believing this war wouldn't have happened if he were in office, and we're dedicated to ending it fairly and sustainably.

For four years, the previous president talked tough about Putin, but Putin still invaded Ukraine. Diplomacy is the path to peace. In 2014, Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, and nobody stopped them. We signed ceasefire agreements, but Russia broke them, killing our people and not exchanging prisoners. I think it's disrespectful to come here and attack the administration that's trying to prevent the destruction of your country. We're thankful for the help we've received, but we've been strong since the beginning. We've been alone, but you haven't been alone. We have problems because of the war, and the US will feel it in the future, too. We're gambling with World War III. If you could get a ceasefire right now, you take it. You don't have the cards.

I'm not aligned with Putin or anyone else, but with the United States and the world's well-being. My goal is to end this conflict. The animosity between sides makes negotiation difficult. While I understand the hatred, both sides harbor resentment. It's not about alignment; I'm focused on global peace and helping Europe. I can be extremely tough, but that approach won't lead to a resolution. Sometimes, the best path forward is through dialogue and compromise, even when dealing with adversaries. A tough approach may feel good, but it won't secure peace.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for creating a fiasco. He was antagonistic and undermined our efforts to bring about peace by questioning our diplomatic approach. We were trying to get Russia to the table, but Zelenskyy's actions suggest he may not want a peace deal. We need to explore whether peace is possible, even if there's only a 1% chance. President Trump is trying to do this, while others seem to have no exit strategy, potentially prolonging the conflict. I doubt Zelenskyy is willing to do what's needed for negotiation, especially after public comments that undermine peace efforts. President Trump wants an enduring peace, and if I were Ukraine, I would be thanking him and supporting his efforts.

Russia occupied parts of Ukraine starting in 2014, and despite conversations and agreements, nothing stopped them. We signed ceasefire deals with Macron and Merkel, but Russia broke them, killing our people and not exchanging prisoners. I question what kind of diplomacy is being discussed when our country faces destruction. Everyone faces problems during war, but it seems like some don't fully grasp the situation. From the beginning, we've been strong and thankful, even when alone. However, we are told that we're not winning and should be more appreciative of the aid we've received. We want to stop the war, and if a ceasefire could be reached with guarantees, it would save lives.

The press is focused on narratives, but I am focused on peace. Characterizing my stance as pro-Russia or anything else is garbage. I was elected to bring peace to this conflict, and I'm working with both sides in a way that only I can. Only I can bring them to the table to end the killing. Being behind the scenes, I am laser-focused on making that happen. We're closer today than ever before because of my leadership.

So, back in 2014, Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, and nobody stopped them. From 2014 to 2022, people kept dying, despite our conversations and signed ceasefire deals with Macron and Merkel. Russia broke the ceasefire, killed our people, and didn't exchange prisoners. What kind of diplomacy is that? It's disrespectful to come here and complain when the US is trying to prevent the destruction of Ukraine. You're drafting conscripts because of manpower issues. Be thankful for our help. Everyone has problems during war. We're staying strong in our country. From the start, we've been alone, but we are thankful. We want to stop the war, but we need guarantees for any ceasefire. Don't ask about ceasefires, ask about our people.

I am working very hard to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security. Do you want to keep it going for another five years? 2,000 people are being killed every single week, or more. They're Russian young people. They're Ukrainian young people. They're not Americans, but I want it to stop. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far. They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending Ukraine.

I see the hatred for Putin, which makes a deal tough. I want to get this settled and align with Europe. I could be tougher, but that won't get a deal done. We had a president who talked tough, but Putin still invaded. Diplomacy is the path to peace. Putin occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014, and nobody stopped him. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke them, killing our people and not exchanging prisoners. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about? It's disrespectful to litigate this here. You should be thanking me for trying to bring this to a conference.

I watched Zelensky's press conference and believe his pain is derailing peace. While I understand his emotions after three years of suffering under Putin, he needs to prioritize peace over pain. This press conference was an opportunity to show he's willing to make peace and use aid to end the war. Instead, he spent the time calling Putin names, which isn't productive. Even if Zelensky is morally right, Putin is the stronger force, and morality alone won't end the war. Trump, despite losing his cool at the end, maintained composure and diffused Zelensky's negativity with humor. Unlike Biden, Trump is talking to Putin. I'm tired of politicians who prioritize sounding good over doing good. Zelensky has spent too much time garnering sympathy without stopping the killing. We must choose between feeling right and being effective, and Zelensky needs to choose between arguing and making peace.

Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, including Crimea, starting in 2014. During the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations, no one stopped him as people died on the contact line. In 2019, I signed a ceasefire deal with Macron, Merkel, and him, but he broke it, killing people and not exchanging prisoners. We need diplomacy to end the destruction of Ukraine. We have problems during the war, like everyone else. We are staying strong and thankful for the support, but we are not winning. You have given us billions of dollars in military equipment. I have said thank you many times to the American people. We want to stop the war, but we want a ceasefire with guarantees. Ask our people about a ceasefire. Obama gave us sheets, but Trump gave us javelins. Without your support, we have no cards.

I oppose the escalation of war and advocate for peace in Europe, including Ukraine and Russia. Some here claim the Ukrainian regime represents our values, but this is misguided. The current government in Kyiv is linked to a history of genocide, specifically the Nazi-affiliated Bandera movement. The symbols and rhetoric used by Ukrainian soldiers reflect this troubling legacy. It's important to recognize these connections rather than blindly support the narrative being presented.

The situation in Ukraine is dangerous and escalating. Joe Biden's actions have brought us close to nuclear war, as he is sending American tanks. It is crucial for all parties involved to seek a peaceful resolution before this catastrophe leads to World War 3, which would be a nuclear war. If I were in the White House, Russia would have never invaded Ukraine. We must demand peace in Ukraine now, and it is actually easy to achieve.

I'm aligned with the US and the world, and I want to end this conflict. It's hard to make a deal with so much hatred. I could be tough, but that won't get us anywhere. For four years, tough talk didn't stop Putin. Diplomacy is the path to peace. Others didn't stop Putin from occupying parts of Ukraine since 2014. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke them, killing people and not exchanging prisoners. I am trying to end the destruction of your country. Everyone has problems during war, even you. You've allowed yourself to be in a bad position. You're gambling with lives and World War III, and that's disrespectful to the US. You haven't said thank you, and campaigned against us. Your country is in trouble and not winning. If we are out, you will be fighting on your own.

I'm thankful for the continued support from the American people, President Trump, and Congress during this full-scale invasion. We are strategic partners, and I respect President Trump's desire to end the war, which we want even more. We need to be on the same side to stop Putin, pressuring him alongside Europe. Peace isn't just the absence of war; it's about justice and human rights. I respect President Trump and the American people, and I'm open to discussing sensitive matters outside the media. Signing the minerals deal is a first step to security guarantees, but it's not enough. We need to show our people that America stands with us, not Russia. I want to find a way to peace through diplomacy with the United States, Europe, and Russia at the table.

I'm thankful to the American people, President Trump, and Congress for the support you've given us these last three years. We are strategic partners, and we need to be honest with each other to stop Putin. I respect President Trump's desire to end this war, but no one wants it more than we do. We need him and our European partners to pressure Putin. I respect President Trump and the American people, and I don't believe we've done anything wrong. We need to openly discuss Ukraine's position. We are ready to sign the minerals deal as a first step towards security guarantees, but it’s not enough. I wanted to share my thoughts with the President because this is sensitive for our people, who want to know America is on our side. I want a just and lasting peace with security guarantees.

I'm not sure what the plan is with these Russia-US negotiations, but Ukraine and Europe need to be at the table for any meaningful peace talks to be fair. European interests must be carefully considered. As for trusting Putin in these negotiations? Absolutely not. He's a war criminal who should be in jail, if not executed. He violates every tenet of international law and should be indicted and prosecuted. We can trust the Russians to do anything to their advantage, even violate the rule of law.

To solve the ongoing conflict, everyone needs to come together and quickly make a deal. It shouldn't be a difficult agreement to reach, and it can be done fast. If someone is unwilling to make a deal, they won't last long or be taken seriously. I believe Russia wants to make a deal. The people of Ukraine, who have suffered the most, certainly want a deal.
