Ukraine has biological research facilities that concern us. We are worried that Russian forces may try to control them. Therefore, we are collaborating with Ukraine on how to prevent Russian forces from gaining control of any of the research materials if they get close.

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.

What does your colleague from the US think about our status? It's challenging not to pursue NATO membership. We’re saddened by the situation, and Britain has always supported your NATO aspirations. However, with 30 nations in NATO, gaining unanimous agreement is difficult. We've been committed to helping you prepare for NATO membership over the past five years, and we regret the current circumstances. We want to ensure you are not pressured into recognizing Crimea as part of Russia. It’s important that you remain free from Russian influence and aggression.

America's strength lies in diplomacy, which we are pursuing with the current president. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine back in 2014, and despite numerous conversations and ceasefire agreements, they continued attacks. My administration is trying to prevent the destruction of your country. Everyone faces challenges during war, but you need to appreciate the support you're receiving. We've provided substantial financial and military aid. If you had to fight this war on your own, it would have been over in two weeks. Be thankful. It's important for the American people to see what's happening. Without our support, you don't have a chance. We gave you javelins, not just sheets. I have empowered you, but without us, you're vulnerable. Make a deal, or we're out. You're not acting thankful at all.

I believe Ukraine needs support in the form of weapons and fighter pilots to win the war. We should provide F-16s and training for pilots. I want Ukraine to join NATO by 2024. We should issue an invitation and provide more weapons in December to help them fight in 2025. American-made weapons are being used effectively by the Ukrainians, benefiting both countries.

How can the UK further support us during this challenging time? I’ve been assessing our anti-air capabilities to ensure we can expedite their delivery to you. We're exploring a defensive alliance with a nuclear power, and it would be beneficial if the UK could be that partner. We’re eager to assist in negotiations. President Zelensky is interested in having the UK involved, especially given the lessons learned from the Minsk agreement, which lacked UK and US participation. There’s a strong desire to discuss a security alliance and other related topics in these negotiations.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy here. We've been working closely together, even navigating a few disagreements to reach a fair deal that benefits both our countries and the world. We're looking forward to working together on rare earth resources. I've also had good discussions with President Putin, aiming to end the war. We're losing too many soldiers and want to redirect resources to rebuilding. The previous administration didn't engage with Russia, but I believe I can negotiate a deal, showcasing the bravery of Ukrainian soldiers. I hope this agreement will be a crucial step toward security guarantees for Ukraine. We count on continued American support, and I want to discuss details further, including drone production, air defense, and the return of stolen Ukrainian children. We must stop Putin, a killer and terrorist, to save our country, values, freedom, and democracy.

It’s an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've been working closely together for a long time and have negotiated a fair deal to obtain rare earth minerals that we need for AI, weapons, and our military. I've also had good discussions with President Putin to try and bring the war to a close. If I were president, this war would have never happened. We've given Ukraine great equipment and credit to their brave soldiers. We're going to sign the agreement shortly, and I think we're fairly close to a deal to stop the shooting. I hope this document will be the first step to real security guarantees for Ukraine. We count on America's continued support, including licenses for air defense and your strong position to stop Putin.

I am ready to leave my post as president if it means peace for Ukraine. If it is absolutely necessary for me to leave for peace to occur, then I am willing to do so. I am also ready to exchange my position for NATO membership immediately, if those are the conditions required. I won't belabor the point any further.

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.

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.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy here; we've worked closely together for a long time. We've reached a fair deal, giving the U.S. access to rare earth elements and we've had good discussions with Russia to bring the war to a close. President Putin and I are working towards a deal to stop the soldier deaths and rebuild Ukraine. The Biden administration didn't engage with Russia, but if I were president, this war never would have happened. Ukraine's soldiers have been brave, and it's time to end this. We'll sign an agreement soon, aiming for a deal to stop the shooting. I hope that it is a first step to real security guarantees for Ukraine and our people, our children. I hope that America continues to support our freedom, our values, and democracy. I want to stop Putin; he's a killer and terrorist. We spoke about drones and air defense because after the war, we need to know that our nation is secure and we have an air shield.

Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be continued to safeguard our interests.

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 are not officially at war with the United States, though the conflict in Ukraine is a dangerous hybrid war fueled by US weaponry. Attacks on mainland Russia necessitate responses. Threats of preemptive strikes and limited nuclear exchanges are deeply concerning, as are repeated attempts to disregard Russia's red lines. We initiated the Ukraine operation to end the war against the Donbas region, where the rights of Russian-speaking people have been systematically violated. The West's focus on Ukraine's territorial integrity ignores the UN Charter's emphasis on self-determination and human rights. The unveiling of our hypersonic weapon system signals our readiness to defend our interests. While we maintain several communication channels with the US, meaningful dialogue is lacking. We seek a negotiated settlement based on Ukraine's neutral status and respect for the rights of all its people. A return to the Istanbul principles, albeit with current realities considered, remains our goal. We want peace, but will not allow our security interests to be jeopardized.

**Speaker 0:** It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've had a long and productive relationship, including navigating a negotiation that benefited both our countries and the world. We're committed to working together, especially in rare earth initiatives. I've also had positive discussions with President Putin and we're striving to end the war in Ukraine. The loss of life on both sides is tragic, and we want to redirect resources to rebuilding. My administration is actively engaging with Russia, unlike the previous one. If I were president earlier, this war wouldn't have happened. We've provided significant equipment to Ukraine, and their soldiers have shown incredible bravery. We aim to finalize a deal soon and look forward to signing an agreement. **Speaker 1:** Thank you for the invitation. I hope this document is a step towards real security guarantees for Ukraine. Continued American support is crucial. I want to discuss security guarantees, drone production, and air defense. We're ready to share our drone licenses and need air defense licenses in return to protect our nation. The support from Europe is welcome, but the United States' strength is vital. We also need help bringing back the 20,000 Ukrainian children stolen and relocated to Russia. I also wanted to show some images of Ukrainian prisoners and how they have been tortured.

Gilbert Doktorov and the host discuss the evolving, multi-layered negotiations surrounding the Ukraine war, stressing that talks involve more than Ukraine and Russia, extending to US-Russia dynamics and broader European and global interests. - They note that trilateral talks among Ukraine, Russia, and the US have begun, with the first phase completed. The conversation emphasizes that the US-Russia dimension is crucial because the conflict is viewed as a proxy war between NATO and Russia, and that “the US toppled the government in Ukraine” with intelligence support, military planning, weapons, and targets coordinated through backchannels. The implication is that any durable settlement would require some deal between the US and Russia to de-escalate the proxy confrontation. - On US-Russia relations, Speaker 1 identifies several dimensions: renewal or non-renewal of New START, and the functioning of embassies, as negative signs, but points to positive changes elsewhere. He highlights Kislyov’s Sunday night program remarks, noting Russia’s proposal to contribute $1,000,000,000 to become a permanent board member using frozen US assets (total US assets frozen around $5 billion in equivalent value). He mentions that Trump was asked about using frozen assets and reportedly declined, but the implication is that Moscow views this as a potential lever. Kislyov also notes that the additional $4,000,000,000 in frozen assets would be allocated to reconstruction in Palestine, and that Russia’s participation on the board would influence regional diplomacy, including with Palestinians and Israelis. - The discussion suggests that the absence of official diplomacy (e.g., embassies) does not necessarily indicate a lack of progress, arguing that backchannels between Putin and Trump are functioning well. The speakers discuss the broader context of Russia’s strategic posture, including alleged advancements in space-based and other new military capabilities that are not fully captured by New START, and the sense from Moscow that the US is preparing a space-based missile system that would enable first strikes, a point the Russians emphasize in public discourse. - On Ukraine, Zelensky’s stance is described as uncompromising: Ukraine will not cede territory and will demand security guarantees, which could undermine a neutral status. The dialogue suggests Zelensky is using a posture of firmness to buy time for negotiations, with Ukrainian leadership potentially exchanging assurances for a broader settlement that could include regime change and financial support for reconstruction. - The potential for compromise is discussed in terms of strategic timing and leverage. The Russians’ primary interest is regime change, and there could be an understanding with Trump about a democratic replacement in Ukraine, possibly replacing Zelensky with a pro-Russian administration under conditions tied to substantial monetary reparations for reconstruction. The timing and mechanism, including potential referenda or buyouts, are considered critical elements that could determine the settlement’s architecture. - The European role is analyzed as increasingly fraught. Europe’s diplomatic engagement has been limited, but Moscow is open to leveraging European assets in a peace process. Lavrov’s stated position that talks with Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission leadership are unlikely, and the broader fragmentation within Europe (France, Germany, Finland, the EU leadership) are highlighted as complicating factors. There is speculation about European figures who could bridge talks, such as Finland’s Stubb, though there is skepticism about Kalas’s leadership within the EU. - The speakers speculate that Davos and Trump’s stance have reshaped European perceptions of US leadership, with European elites increasingly questioning the reliability of US-backed security guarantees. The conversation closes with an expectation that the year 2025 will be dominated by Trump as a central variable in resolving global issues, and that Moscow remains optimistic about achieving a settlement with Washington while signaling a tougher stance toward Ukraine if needed. Overall, the discussion portrays a complex, interwoven set of negotiations across US-Russia, Ukraine-Russia, and European dynamics, with backchannels, asset controls, potential regime-change considerations, and timing as key levers for reaching any settlement.

Мы против расширения НАТО и размещения ударных систем у наших границ. Если все хотят мира, почему не отказаться от этого? Мы готовы создать условия для повышения доверия и безопасности.

How can the UK further support us during this challenging time? We are focused on enhancing our anti-air capabilities and ensuring they arrive swiftly. We are exploring a defensive alliance with a nuclear power, and it would be beneficial if the UK could be that partner. The establishment of official British training centers in our country would be a great step forward. We are eager to support your negotiations, especially since President Zelensky values the UK's involvement, given past experiences like the Minsk agreement, which lacked UK and US participation. A security alliance is definitely a topic worth discussing in these negotiations.

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'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 request that we provide more reliable anti-tank weapons, as previous deliveries have often failed, causing issues for our country. We have supplied over 4,000 anti-tank weapons, with more on the way. However, we are running low on our own stock. I communicate daily with Minister Reznikov about this. Currently, we face bureaucratic challenges; there are two supply routes into the country, but the Ukrainian general staff has opted to use only one, which has slowed down the delivery of supplies to your army that urgently needs them.

I'm grateful for the ongoing American support during these tough times, especially from President Trump and Congress. We need to be united against Putin and end this war. I respect President Trump and the American people, and I believe open dialogue is crucial. Signing the minerals deal is a step towards security guarantees, but it's not enough. I wanted to share my thoughts with the President. A public spat isn't good for anyone. We want peace, but it must be just and lasting, with strong negotiation power, a strong army, and security guarantees. I came to the US seeking peace and security guarantees. It will be difficult to hold off Russia without continued US support. I am ready for diplomacy with Russians, Europeans and the United States for peace. Only the Ukrainian people can decide my resignation.
