“We have agreed on common principles – five principles. This is the negotiation format: everything concerning Ukraine must be discussed exclusively with Ukraine. We must prepare a trilateral negotiation format. There must be a ceasefire – number one. There must be security guarantees – truly reliable ones. And today President Trump expressed his support for this and America’s readiness to participate. russia cannot have the right to veto Ukraine’s European and NATO perspective. And peace negotiations should be combined with proper pressure on russia. Sanctions must be strengthened if russia does not agree to a ceasefire in Alaska. These are effective principles. It is important that they work”, - said President Zelensky on August 13 following meetings with the leaders of partner countries.
He thanked the leaders of the European Union countries and the President of the United States for their comprehensive support of Ukraine.
