Details
We thoroughly discussed each country's readiness to contribute to ensuring security on land, at sea, in the air, and in cyberspace. We coordinated positions and discussed the components of security guarantees. And I am grateful to everyone for understanding that the main security guarantee is a strong Ukrainian army.
The head of state emphasized that European leaders share the same vision that Russia is doing everything possible to prolong the negotiation process and continue the war.
It is necessary to increase support for Ukraine and strengthen pressure on Russia. The 19th package of EU sanctions is currently being prepared. Japan is also working on sanction steps.
Zelenskyy also thanked partners for their support, particularly for his efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine. Thank you all for this important work, for supporting our people and for your readiness to continue to be with Ukraine and help us protect lives.
Separately, I want to thank President Trump for all his efforts to end this war and America's readiness to provide support to Ukraine on its part.
