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.

I've spent a long day in meetings regarding the war. I'm grateful to our partners who recognize the need for strong positions both on the front lines and in diplomacy. For every two dollars invested in our long-range capabilities, we're seeing almost ten dollars in losses for Russia, which is the dynamic we need. I spoke with President Macron, the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Norway and Canada, and the Presidents of Finland and South Africa. We coordinated our positions, discussed further steps, and the future of Europe. I emphasized the need to free all our prisoners held by Russia, and the necessity of a reliable security guarantee system, so that war does not return. I thank you for your help and your feeling of unity, which is as important now as it was in 2022.

I just had a conversation with the President of the United States. We discussed our shared goal of winning this war. We can and must make this year the year of victory. It's important to emphasize that this is not just a Russian war against Ukraine and Europe, but a war against democracy. We need to liberate all Ukrainian territory from Russian occupation and ensure long-term security with strong guarantees.

The G7 is celebrating its 50th anniversary and relies on US leadership. Discussions will focus on trade and other issues with a talented group of people. The G7 used to be the G8, but Barack Obama and Trudeau didn't want Russia included, which was a mistake because the war wouldn't be happening if Russia were still involved, or if Trump were president. Regarding a deal with Canada, there are different concepts about tariffs. A tariff approach is simple, easy, and quick. A deal is achievable if both parties agree. Iran wants to talk, but should have done so sooner. Iran is not winning the war and should talk immediately before it's too late. Regarding US military involvement, there will be no comment. Putin shouldn't have a seat at the G7 at this point, but it was a mistake to exclude him. If he were a member, there would be no war.

You are very welcome here in Downing Street. You have full backing across the United Kingdom. We stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes to achieve a lasting peace. Thank you very much, Prime Minister. I am happy to be here. Thank you to the people of the United Kingdom for your big support from the very beginning of this war. We in Ukraine are very happy that we have such friends. Thank you.

Speaker 1 said they supported Ukraine and supported president Trump initiative for a peace process. They have met two times in Saudi Arabia, two times in Europe (Paris and London), and participated in three meetings in Turkey. They are currently continuing the humanitarian work of releasing and exchanging prisoners of war. European leaders and President Zelensky visited Washington, and there was agreement that trilateral and bilateral meetings will be done upon Washington visit. At this stage, they are waiting to see when the trilateral and bilateral meetings will be done. Speaker 0 noted that it sounds very formal, but it seems to be the result is no real well, no negotiations to end the war and to implement a ceasefire between

To close, Canada is committed to leaving future generations not only a safer, more prosperous, more inclusive, and more peaceful world, but also a more sustainable one. Canada will be defined not by the strength of our values, but by the value of our strength. We know that no country can meet today's challenges alone. As former UN secretary general Kofi Annan once said, in an era of global challenges, the world needs multilateralism now more than ever. No nation can solve its problems alone. This is the spirit of Canada, and Canadians are rising to the challenge. We will work toward a world where prosperity is shared, security is collective, and peace is lasting. This is Canada's pledge in this era of geopolitical challenge and change. Thank you.

Good afternoon. I ask you to convene here today to inform you about how the negotiations are going on on the Ukrainian crisis and how the negotiations are developing in the bilateral format with the Ukrainian delegation in one way or another. And two, I'd like to inform you about at what stage we are currently with the American administration. We know that they are taking quite vigorous and sincere efforts to put an end to the hostilities, to put an end to this crisis, and to reach an agreement that would be of interest for all the parties involved in this conflict to ensure durable conditions for peace between our countries and in Europe in general and globally as well. If the next stage would be agreement about strategic offensive weapons, that's what I wanted to say in the beginning.

In the past two weeks, we've probably had more progress in ending this war than we have in the past three and a half years. And I think the fact that we're around this table today is is very much symbolic in the sense that it's team Europe and team United States helping Ukraine. And the progress that we're looking out of this meeting is about the security guarantees.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've been working closely together for a long time, and we've negotiated a fair deal that will benefit both our countries and the world. I've also had good discussions with President Putin, and we're trying to bring the conflict in Ukraine to a close. Too many soldiers are dying, and we want to see the money used for rebuilding instead. The previous administration didn't engage with Russia, but I believe if I were president, this war would have never happened. We're providing great equipment to Ukraine, and their soldiers have been incredibly brave. We're going to sign an agreement soon, and I think we're close to a deal to stop the shooting. It's an exciting moment, and I appreciate everyone being here.

There are some places that are never for sale, like Buckingham Palace. Canada is not for sale and won't ever be, but there is opportunity in partnership and what can be built together. This includes security. The Canadian government is committed to a step change in investment in Canadian security. The President has revitalized international security and NATO. Canada is stepping up military participation.

Ukraine has been at the center of recent discussions, and a credible and sustainable peace plan should stop the killing and end the war while not sowing seeds for future conflict. The speaker highlights three main elements necessary for just and lasting peace and Ukraine’s sovereignty: - Borders cannot be changed by force. - As a sovereign nation, there cannot be limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces, because such limits would leave the country vulnerable to future attack and would undermine European security. - The centrality of the European Union and securing peace for Ukraine must be fully reflected, with Ukraine having the freedom and sovereign right to choose its own destiny. They have chosen a European destiny. The path forward involves Ukraine’s reconstruction, its integration into the single market and the defense industrial base, and ultimately joining the union. The speaker emphasizes continued work with Ukraine, other Member States, the Coalition of the Willing, and the United States to make real progress toward peace. The overarching directive is to move forward as partners on a single track. A crucial element identified for any agreement is the return of every Ukrainian child abducted by Russia. Among the horrors of Russia’s war, the abduction of children is described as cutting deeper than others. Tens of thousands of boys and girls remain trapped in Russia, frightened and longing for their loved ones, and must be placed at the top of the global agenda. To address this, together with Ukraine and Canada, the speaker announces the co-hosting of a summit of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children. The commitment is to not rest until every single child is reunited with their families in their homes where they belong.

I would like to discuss our collaboration with you and President Zelensky's team. We aim to have a diplomat engage with you regularly in the coming days or weeks. If a peace deal is reached that satisfies Ukraine, Britain is ready to explore all options to support you, including a presence in Ukraine. Currently, we have troops in Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania, and we’ve maintained a training team in Ukraine since 2015. We are open to considering various options moving forward.

Speaker 1 expresses Canada's unwavering support for Ukraine, condemning Vladimir Putin's invasion and violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. They emphasize that Canada stands with Ukraine not only as friends but also to protect the rules-based order and the rights of all democracies. Despite Russian propaganda's attempts to manipulate public opinion, Canada remains committed to standing by Ukraine for as long as necessary.

The Alaska Summit reinforced my belief that while difficult pieces within reach, I believe that in a very significant step, President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine, and this is one of the key points that we need to consider. We're going to be considering that at the table, also, like who will do what, essentially. I'm optimistic that collectively we can reach an agreement.

Mister president, thank you for hosting us at this important meeting, marking a new phase after a three-and-a-half-year period without signs from Russia and reflecting the unity shown in support for Ukraine. The speaker emphasizes that peace and justice require progress guarantees and that such guarantees are a precondition of any peace. We're happy that we will discuss about that. We will begin from an Article Five model, originally Italian. We are ready to bring proposals for peace and dialogue, to build together to guarantee peace and defend our nation's security. Thank you, Mister President, for hosting us. Emmanuel? Thank you.

We are strengthening our political relationship with the NATO Ukraine Council, working together to make decisions. Ukraine will become a member of NATO, it's just a matter of time. NATO will support Ukraine for security reasons as we prepare for that day.

We strongly condemn Putin's invasion of Ukraine and stand united in defense of democracy. Canada is committed to supporting Ukraine for as long as necessary, and we are providing multiyear assistance to ensure their long-term success. We will continue to impose costs on Russia and prevent those responsible from benefiting. Our support for Ukraine is unwavering, and we will always be their partner. Canadians will always be friends to Ukraine.

Speaker 0, acting as G7 chair, states they will exercise their role as chair because they have a few more minutes with the president and his team. Speaker 0 indicates they must then start the meeting to address some big issues.

President Zelensky, Canada stands by you. We have provided $9 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian aid since Putin's aggression began. Our commitment continues with a $650 million multiyear plan. This includes 50 armored vehicles, medical evacuation vehicles built in Ontario, and F-16 trainers for pilots and maintenance. We will work with NATO and provide economic support to keep Ukraine strong and prosperous. Our hope is for peace to return soon, so military and financial aid won't be necessary.

The speaker states that the G7 used to be the G8, but Barack Obama and Trudeau didn't want Russia included. The speaker believes this was a mistake, claiming that if Russia were still included, there would be no war currently. They also assert that if Trump were president four years ago, there would be no war. The speaker says that Russia was thrown out of the G8 around eight or nine years ago, which they claimed was a big mistake, even before entering politics. They argue that excluding Russia complicates discussions, as much time is spent talking about them while they are not at the table. The speaker expects to accomplish a lot, with a primary focus on trade, particularly with Canada, expressing confidence in reaching a resolution.

There are different nations, and European nations are clearly divided. Some want to continue the war while others want to participate in peace negotiations. I am among the political leaders who do not wish to continue the war because war is a tragedy. What has been happening in Ukraine for three years is a true human massacre. We shouldn't forget that young men are dying, families are decimated, and Ukrainians have fled their country, probably never to return. We cannot simply write this off. We must work for peace at all costs.

People of Ukraine, this is your moment. It's about the future you want and deserve for your country. A future in Europe, a future of peace with all your neighbors. The free world, America, and I stand with you. Your destiny lies in Europe.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently visited Canada to sign an agreement for increased collaboration between the two economies. The purpose of this summit is to further strengthen the framework discussed during that visit. Although the summit is short, lasting only a day and a half, it provides an excellent opportunity for Canadian officials to discuss shared priorities with European leaders.

I am more encouraged about Ukraine's unity and resolve for 2024 and its strategic importance. I am also confident that Ukraine will have strong success this year, surprising Mr. Putin on the battlefield. Thank you.
