Ukraine wonโ€™t give up uncaptured territory, โ€” Zelenskyy says

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธโ€œRussia is still unsuccessful in the Donetsk region. Putin has been unable to take it for 12 years, and the Constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land.โ€

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธโ€œSince the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine & Russia at a trilateral meeting. So far, Russia gives no sign that trilateral will happen, & if Russia refuses, then new sanctions must follow,โ€

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ The best security guarantee for Ukraine is a strong Ukrainian army, โ€” Zelenskyy

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธSecurity must work in practice, like NATO's Article 5. And we consider EU membership as part of security guarantees, - Zelenskyy

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ There can be no division between Ukraine and Moldova in the process of European integration. If that happens, it will show that Europe is not united regarding Ukraine, โ€” Zelenskyy

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธEU council president: 'If no ceasefire is agreed, the EU and US must increase pressure on Russia'

Von der Leyen says peace "must be achieved through strength", before setting out what a deal should look like.

A deal that must include security guarantees to protect both Ukraine and Europe, she says.

Ukraine must also be able to uphold its territorial sovereignty, and there must also be no limitations on its armed forces - including on joining international organisations and getting assistance from other countries

Ursula VDL calls for clear security guarantees, with the participation of the EU, the Coalition of the Willing, and even Donald Trump.

โ€œStop the killingsโ€: European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen underlined that ending civilian deaths is the top priority.

Ursula VDL emphasized that international borders cannot be changed by force. The issue of borders is the exclusive right of Ukraine

A lasting, robust peace for Ukraine and Europe, says Emmanuel Macron

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"I am convinced that we must enter a new diplomatic stage, one in which we assume the defense of European interests... Through the Ukrainian conflict we are redefining the rules of our collective security."

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธEmmanuel Macron: "our will is to present a united front between Europeans and Ukrainians" and to ask the Americans "to what extent" they are ready to contribute to the security guarantees that would be offered to Ukraine in a peace agreement.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธMacron: Russia's offer to Ukraine would mean capitulation, not peace.

โ–ช๏ธThe Europeans will ask Trump to what extent he will adhere to security guarantees. To conclude a lasting peace, Ukraine needs a strong army.

โ–ช๏ธ"If we show weakness today in front of Russia, we will lay the foundation for future conflicts."

โ–ช๏ธThe Ukrainian army is the first pillar of the country's security guarantees. The second will be the deterrent forces.

โ–ช๏ธ Europe's security is closely linked to the war between Ukraine and Russia, and its leaders must be at the negotiating table to best represent the interests of their citizens.

โ–ช๏ธ Any agreement to reduce the Ukrainian army will be doomed to violation. Ukraine must have a strong army.

โ–ช๏ธMacron also stated that the "Coalition of the Willing" demands respect for Ukraine's territorial integrity.

โ–ช๏ธ Russia has never kept its promises regarding peace and non-aggression.

โ–ช๏ธ Without Ukraine's voice, there can be no territorial negotiations regarding Ukraine.

โ€œSeveral states are ready to do so [boots on the ground], from training in logistics to presence in non-hot zones, that is, not on the front line, not in disputed territories, but to have a presence of allied forces alongside Ukraine. We will go and present this also asking the United States of America how far and to what extent they are ready to join them, since they have put themselves on the table of security guarantees and reaffirmed it. And then the third is how to formalize this with regard to Ukraine.โ€

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ "For peace to come, pressure must be applied to the aggressor, not the victim," โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Foreign Minister Radosล‚aw Sikorski

Following the meeting, a spokesman for the Polish foreign ministry, Pawel Wroล„ski, said that all participants expressed support for peace and the motto guiding President Trump, that we must bring about โ€œstop killingโ€.

There was also a โ€œdeep convictionโ€ among the coalition to remember who the aggressor is and who the victim is, the spokesman said: โ€œWho primarily needs support and on whom pressure must be exerted.โ€

Rutte, who has good relations with Trump, will be present.

Finlandโ€™s Stubb โ€” a personal golfing partner of Trump โ€” may serve as a mediator to keep discussions on track.

This is brilliant explanation by the VP of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas on why it is useless to โ€œnegotiateโ€ with russia:

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ"Russia is making demands, Russia is threatening. And now when we we think "letยดs offer them something" they will get something they did not have before.

Iยดve quoted this foreign minister Andrei Gromyko, a Soviet-time foreign minister, several times, who said abot the negotiation tactic of Soviet Union.

Three things: first demand the maximum. Do not ask but demand something that has never been yours. Secondly, present ultimatums and threats. And third: do not give an inch in negotiations because there will be always people in the West who will offer you something.

And then in the end you will have one third of even one half of something you never had before."
