"We spoke with Donald Trump together with President Macron, Federal Chancellor Merz, Prime Ministers Starmer and Tusk. We discussed the meeting in Istanbul," Zelensky said.
"Ukraine is ready to take the fastest possible steps to bring about real peace, and it is important that the world takes a strong stance," he added.
“Our position – if the Russians refuse a full and unconditional ceasefire and an end to the killings, tough sanctions must follow. The pressure on Russia must be maintained until Russia is ready to end the war. Thank you to everyone in the world who is helping.” /Telegraph/
