Zelensky: I blocked the agreement with Trump on mineral rights as it does not protect Ukraine interests.

Then he goes diplomatic. It must be legally correct regarding investments and security guarantees. I don’t yet see in the document. 1/

Zelensky about meeting in Saudi Arabia: I haven't seen any invitations for Ukraine to meet with envoys. We have no documents or negotiations with our strategic partners. Russia is not one of them. 2/

Zelensky: To defend against a potential Russian offensive, we need not 50, 100, or 300 thousand. European leaders understand this and are considering the financial implications. 3/

Losing the alliance between Europe and the U.S. would benefit only Putin and North Korea. 4/

Zelensky: If Putin only wants a ceasefire to ease his isolation, that’s not real peace. The U.S. holds key political power, and its approach to Russia matters. 5/

If Trump can push Putin toward genuine peace, we may achieve real security guarantees for the first time - if all sides, especially America, are ready. 6/

Zelensky: European leaders, once more skeptical than the U.S., are now more ready to support Ukraine. They understand the danger - Putin will come, not if he comes. 7/

He may test NATO, and without strong sanctions and unity between the EU and the U.S., that is very dangerous. 8/

Everyone needs to get used to the fact that Ukraine can no longer be told where to be. 9/

Zelensky: Strong security guarantees are not possible without U.S. Troops on the borders or front lines must include U.S. and European partners. 10/

Without the U.S, it’s weak. The number of troops matters, and for now, Europe alone is not enough. 11/

Zelensky on elections: No one raises this issue at a high level, except Putin, sometimes the U.S. Everyone understands our law and the consequences. 12/

The shift to a contract army was the right step, aligning with U.S. practices. This war isn’t just about manpower but advanced weapons. Now it's about drones, not just tanks. 13/

Zelensky: North Korea involvement in war is global threat. They’ve gained experience in missiles, drones, and electronic warfare, and they will use it. 14/

Distance no longer matters - missiles and drones fly thousands of kilometers. If Russia wins, others will follow. We must defend values and protect every country, no matter its size. 15/

Zelensky: The U.S. needs to see the reality of this war firsthand, without outside influence. I invited Mr. Kellogg to the front to witness it himself and speak with our commanders. 16/

I want him to bring this understanding to President Trump. After that, we can discuss concrete steps toward our goals. 17X
