World leaders after the Berlin summit on Ukraine
On Sunday and Monday, a series of talks were held in Berlin regarding actions aimed at leading to a ceasefire in Ukraine. Among the security guarantees for Ukraine agreed between the US and Europe is a European-led and US-backed military mission of willing countries also operating on Ukrainian territory, according to a statement published by European leaders.
After the talks, the following spoke: President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. “It is very important that our partners from the United States of America heard all the details about the war. If these meetings had been held earlier, progress would have been even greater,” he wrote on X. “Nevertheless, I am grateful that we have worked really well together. There are some issues that, in my opinion, are destructive and certainly will not help us. It is important that they no longer appear in new versions of the documents. This matters because dignity matters,” he added.
