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.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've been working closely together, and we've reached a very fair deal involving rare earth minerals that will benefit both our countries and the world. We've also had good discussions with Russia, and I spoke with President Putin. We're working to bring the war to a close, focusing on reducing casualties and rebuilding Ukraine. The previous administration didn't engage with Russia, but if I were president, this war would have never happened. Your soldiers have been brave, and we've provided equipment. We want to stop the shooting and finalize a deal, which I believe is close. (Speaker 1): I hope this agreement is the first step toward real security guarantees for Ukraine. We count on America's continued support, including infrastructure and security guarantees, and assistance to help bring our children home.

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.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've had a long and productive relationship, and we've reached a very fair deal that benefits both our countries and the world. This deal involves rare earth minerals, and it represents a significant commitment from the United States. We've also had good discussions with Russia, including a conversation with President Putin, to try and bring the conflict in Ukraine to a close. We need to negotiate a deal to stop the loss of life and redirect resources to rebuilding. The previous administration wasn't even speaking to Russia, but we've initiated talks and see the confines of a deal. If I were president, this war would have never happened. Your soldiers have been incredibly brave, and now we want to bring this to an end. We'll be signing the agreement shortly, and we're hopeful that we're close to a deal.

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.

We are open to dialogue with the new US administration regarding the Ukrainian conflict. The key is to address the root causes of the conflict. The aim should not be a temporary ceasefire or a chance to regroup, but a lasting peace that respects the lawful interests of all people and nationalities in the region. We will advocate for the interests of Russia and its people, which is the primary objective of the special military operation.

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.

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.

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.

Speaker 0: We have an important service today. Speaker 1: We, the wolves, are defending our Ukrainian land. I had a meeting with friends and partners in America, but the government there cannot recommend the Ukrainian infantry. Today, we are protecting our Ukrainian people with a new kind of army. As the president, I want to command them with pride.

Good morning, everyone. It's great to see you all. I'm excited to be here. We appreciate you being here. It's not our first meeting, and I'm very proud that Ukraine has such great strategic friends like the United States. We are thankful for this support. We're here today as a show of support, and we have committee chairs and the president with us.

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.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy. We've been working closely together for a long time and have a very fair deal. We're committed to working with Ukraine, and we've had good discussions with Russia. We want to stop the killing and rebuild. The Biden administration didn't speak to Russia, but if I were president, this war would have never happened. Your soldiers have been unbelievably brave, and we've given them great equipment. I give tremendous credit to your generals, soldiers, and yourself. We want to get this over with. We're going to sign the agreement soon and discuss other things. The exciting moment is when the shooting stops and we have a deal, and I think we're fairly close.

**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.

Good morning, everyone. It's great to see you all. We appreciate you being here. We know each other well, and this isn't our first meeting. I am very proud that Ukraine has such strategic friends like the United States. We are very thankful for your support. We have committee chairs and the president present today.

Speaker 1 argues that 'this will be a peace agreement, not a ceasefire,' forcing the U.S., Russia, and Europe to define peace beyond a halt. He says the war reflects 'an unnecessary set of provocations from the West, not the unprovoked war of aggression by Russia.' He favors Ukraine's security through neutrality, insisting 'Ukraine's real security is neutrality' and 'Neutrality is desirable.' He envisions a monitored security arrangement via the UN Security Council, with 'Russia is one of the guarantors of peace because it's got security interests that need to be respected alongside Ukraine.' He notes 'there was no treaty to end World War II' and that 'promises unfulfilled by the West of no NATO enlargement.' He criticizes Western leadership as 'a gang of the rankest amateurs' and laments 'the Russophobia is rampant and wild' in Europe, urging renewed collective security discussions.

In 2025, Canada will chair the G7. The speaker is currently in Kyiv with Ursula and Antonio of the European Commission and Council. They have wanted peace and believe in it now more than ever.

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.

The speaker believes a deal is emerging after a nearly five-hour meeting, the third one held. Two of Putin's key advisors, Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev, were present. The meeting was compelling, and they finally arrived at Putin's request: to have a permanent peace. They got an answer beyond just a ceasefire.

The Alaska summit reinforced my belief that “president Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine,” a key point to consider. “I'm optimistic that, collectively, we can reach an agreement that would deter any future aggression against Ukraine,” though I also note, “I actually think there won't be. I think that's even over overrated, largely overrated.” European nations are gonna take a lot of the burden; “we're gonna help them, and we're gonna make it very secure.” We also need to discuss “the possible exchanges of territory taken into consideration the current line of contact.” That means “the war zone, the war lines that are pretty obvious, very sad, actually, to look at them.” The next step: “a trilateral meeting, and that will be worked out.” “I have a feeling you and president Putin are gonna work something out.” Ultimately, Zelensky and the Ukrainian people, with Putin, must decide. “I'll set up a meeting with President Putin.” “All of us would obviously prefer an immediate ceasefire … maybe something like that could happen.” “As of this moment, it's not happening.” “I believe a peace agreement … is very attainable,” and “The next step would be for a trilateral meeting, and that will be worked out.”

We aim to continue our nuclear program for protection against Russia and would appreciate any assistance in this area. I need to discuss broader issues with my prime minister, but we will support Ukraine in your decisions regarding NATO and weaponry. We can also explore security guarantees together. Our goal is to provide intelligence on Russian intentions and collaborate on feasible options. Regarding the peace treaty, Russia's proposal includes reducing our military and weapons. Can we expect secret supplies of weapons, perhaps stored in Poland? I understand your request.

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.
