Today, I held an online meeting with national security advisers to the leaders of France, Great Britain, Italy, and Germany. We discussed the results of the NATO summit in The Hague and the next steps to achieve a just and lasting peace. We specifically noted the importance of the meeting between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.
Yermak emphasized that "Russia is still not ready for real negotiations" - pressure is needed. Only its intensification by partners "can force the Kremlin to sit down at the negotiating table on fair terms."
They also noted the support of the leaders of EU states for the start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union - an important signal after the meeting of the European Council. We are focusing on coordinating the actions of the coalition countries that are willing and preparing for the next meeting of leaders.
