I have been in regular contact with Poroshenko, Yatsenyuk, and the current speaker for the past 4 years, discussing the situation in Ukraine. There is pressure in Europe to ease sanctions on Ukraine, but I insisted on withholding aid until certain conditions were met. We are working on a detailed plan outlining security guarantees from Russia and political steps for Ukraine. These steps are challenging, such as granting special status to certain regions. I believe Ukraine is willing to make these difficult changes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 of Ukraine here. We've been working closely, and we have a fair deal to access rare earth resources. We've also had good discussions with Russia and President Putin to try and bring an end to the war. They're losing thousands of soldiers, and we want the fighting to stop so we can focus on rebuilding. The previous administration didn't speak to Russia, but I believe if I were president, this war would have never happened. We're going to sign an agreement, and I think we're fairly close to a deal.

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.

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.

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.

We are actively discussing how to support Ukraine, having recently engaged with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky. We have provided over $10 billion in aid, including military equipment like drones, armored vehicles, guns, and ammunition. We will continue to support Ukraine by purchasing necessary equipment on the international market. Our commitment to Ukraine is unwavering as we stand by our allies in the face of Russian aggression.

**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.

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 grateful to be here today to express my gratitude for your support during the war. It is crucial for us to share the details of the war and the real challenges we face. Your assistance has been invaluable in helping us meet our needs and protect our land. Please convey my appreciation to your dedicated workers who have done so much for Ukraine. Without them, we would not have been able to navigate this war.

We are the largest donor of military equipment to Ukraine and have promised to match or exceed the amount provided by another country. This has been a productive conversation, focusing on the ongoing battle and the need for support.

I spoke with President Macron, coordinating our actions, and with Belgium's Prime Minister regarding aid to Ukraine, the use of frozen Russian assets, and EU collaboration. Our team is acting on the promises made at yesterday's Kyiv support summit, which had over 40 participants. I thank everyone who was principled on this third anniversary of the full-scale invasion's start. Partners are ready to increase their support to achieve an honest peace that prevents future aggression. The UK will provide over $55 billion in military aid this year, and Norway confirms $35 billion in assistance. We also have support in energy security and humanitarian aid, with Spain providing €1 billion this year. Sweden is preparing to transfer air defense systems, and Denmark will provide an additional $285 million for weapons. We're working to increase our F16 fleet and aim to meet all planned targets this year.

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.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've been working very closely together for a long time and have negotiated a fair deal that benefits both countries and the world. This agreement involves rare earth elements, which are crucial for our technology and military. We've also had good discussions with Russia, including President Putin, to try and bring this conflict to a close. The loss of soldiers on both sides is devastating, and we want to see it stop so we can focus on rebuilding. My administration is actively engaged in finding a deal, which I believe is possible. We give Ukraine great credit for their bravery and are committed to supporting them. It's time to end this war.

I am discussing the importance of defending sovereignty and territorial integrity, specifically in Ukraine, with our NATO allies on the eastern flank. This moment is crucial for upholding the guiding principles of the NATO alliance.

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 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.
