During the meeting with @SteveWitkoff, the U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, we discussed the track of negotiations between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Istanbul. Russia’s position remains unconstructive.
I emphasized that Russia is stalling and manipulating the negotiation process in an attempt to avoid American sanctions, and has no genuine intention of ceasing hostilities. Only strong sanctions can compel Russia to engage in serious negotiations.
I also briefed him on the real situation on the battlefield and invited @SteveWitkoff to visit Ukraine to witness the situation firsthand.
We need a ceasefire — we have fully supported the U.S. proposal on this since March. We are also ready for a leaders’ meeting, which Russia continues to avoid.

In Washington, together with the team, I met with @generalkellogg, the U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine.

We discussed the situation on the frontline, the outcomes of the meetings in Istanbul, the importance of strengthening sanctions against Russia. Image

We also talked about the Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. We have handed over the lists to the Russian side and are awaiting a response — it is crucial to bring these children home.
This is a matter of great importance, and we value the fact that the United States is engaged in this process.

I emphasized that Russia is doing everything to avoid a ceasefire. This must be stopped by force, because Ukraine has done everything to bring the war to an end.

We are ready for a ceasefire, for dialogue, and for a serious process that will lead to a just end to this war. The President has made it clear that we accepted the U.S. proposal for a ceasefire back in March. Russia did not—because it still wants to buy time.
While Ukraine speaks of de-escalation, the Kremlin continues its offensive in the East, in Sumy region, and near Kharkiv.

As the world calls for negotiations, Russia receives ammunition from North Korea, moves troops, and tries to exhaust the West.
This is not a new tactic. The Soviet Union signed agreements and then attacked Finland. In the 1990s, Russia declared ceasefires in Chechnya—only to use them for regrouping. Today, it’s the same game, but the stakes are global.

Stories of Surrender is a remarkable documentary by Bono, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Bono invited Sean Penn, The Edge from U2, and our Ukrainian servicemen from the “Cultural Forces”. Image

“Cultural Forces” is a unit within the Armed Forces of Ukraine made up of artists, many of whom have been serving since the very first days of the war.
Some of them were wounded in combat—like opera singer Yurii Ivaskyevych from the 110th Brigade, who lost a leg in 2023, and Olga Rukavyshnykova, a violinist and grenade launcher operator. It was deeply moving to see our heroes standing alongside true friends of Ukraine.

1/ Despite the mythologized Soviet propaganda about a “Great Patriotic War victory,” historical facts tell a different story.

Without U.S. aid, the Ukrainian front, and British pressure—victory in WWII would’ve been impossible for the USSR.

⸻
2/ USA: Lend-Lease and the Economy of Victory

Without the Lend-Lease program, the USSR had no fuel, no mobile logistics.

427,000 trucks, 2,000 locomotives, tons of aviation fuel, aluminum, metals, and food—this wasn’t “help.” It was the material backbone of the Red Army.

⸻
3/ Half of the USSR’s bread from 1943–45 came from American wheat.

Most T-34 tanks used U.S.-supplied steel armor. Even uniforms and boots were made in the U.S. or Canada.

These aren’t opinions. These are wartime logistics.

I want to express my gratitude to all our people and warriors who heroically fight for Ukraine. Your strength and energy are with us every day—we have no right to make mistakes.

Thank you, President @ZelenskyyUa, for your leadership. Image

I am grateful to the American delegation, U.S. Secretary of State @marcorubio and National Security Advisor to President Trump @michaelgwaltz, for the constructive and meaningful work.
I also want to sincerely thank our hosts—especially His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—for providing the opportunity to hold this extremely important meeting.

Together with Foreign Minister @andrii_sybiha, we held a meeting with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi. We reaffirmed our mutual respect for the territorial integrity of both Ukraine and China as the foundation of Ukrainian-Chinese bilateral relations. Image
We positively noted the intensification of political dialogue between Ukraine and China in 2024 and discussed the possibility of further high-level contacts.
We also discussed the development of bilateral relations and trade. China remains one of Ukraine’s largest trading partners.
