Ukraine is most interested in peace,
I want to believe that the United States will stay by our side but we have to be prepared for that not to be the case,
We have taken a step back
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be
Put Ukraine in a position of strength relative to Russia... enable Ukraine so much that they are able to change the dynamics on the battlefield so that Putin cannot achieve additional gains at acceptable cost."
Pausing military aid and intelligence-sharing to Ukraine now will only enable and embolden Putin to continue his assaults with more lethality,
I think the only thing that that deal is potentially going to give us is a discussion on another deal,
I am certain that there is no risk of a large-scale war. … We do not intend to take any aggressive actions. We will not attack, raid or invade Ukraine,
We are interested in peace, but we are definitely interested in something that would be guaranteed as a peace, and that would not be used by the Russian Federation as a pause to remobilize and to attack with a tsunami wave over Ukraine and also over European countries,

And that Ukraine wants to prolong the war rather than stop it,
I want to appeal to those who are trying to raise the numbers on our music video... as if we were making a movie, as if the war in Ukraine was a movie... We are here, we are fighting, we are evacuating, we are winning."
NewsGuard has seen a significant increase in false claims about Ukraine on US social media in recent weeks, particularly since Donald Trump accused Volodymyr Zelensky of being ungrateful for US military support,
Mr. President, how was the trip? How do you feel?"
Everyone needs to make sure that Russia, as the sole source of this war, accepts the need to end it.
