The President of Ukraine noted that on this day he talked with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, European Commission President Ursula von der Lyain, director of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva, Premier of Albania Edi Rama, Romania Foreign Minister Oan Silvia Tsoya.
“What is important in all these conversations. The first is that all partners understand who should take steps to the end of this war. This is a Russian war, this is Russia's aggression, and it is Russia who should go to the ceasefire and real diplomacy, which can guarantee the world. Ukraine is clearly supported, and I am very grateful to all partners,” Zelensky said.
According to him, “everyone is united by the understanding that the Russian war against Ukraine is a war in Europe and against Europe.”
“All decisions that will be made to end this war and to ensure security really concern all Europe, and not one. Therefore, the voice of Europe must influence the processes,” the President of Ukraine said.
He emphasized that Ukraine agrees with European leaders on how to protect the positions of Europe.
