Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the 10th stressed that the Kyiv government “highly values and fully supports” the joint statement issued by several European leaders to promote peace in Ukraine and safeguard the interests of both Ukraine and Europe.

According to Reuters, the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, Finland, and the European Commission on the 9th expressed their welcome for U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to help end the Russia–Ukraine war, while also emphasizing the need to maintain pressure on Russia and provide Ukraine with security guarantees.

In a post on social media platform X, Zelensky said the war must end in a just manner. He thanked all the nations and peoples standing with Ukraine and fighting for peace, stressing that Ukraine is protecting vital security interests for all of Europe. He also extended individual thanks to French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb for their support of Ukraine.

Trump is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on the 15th of this month, claiming that the talks could lead to an agreement to end the three-and-a-half-year-long conflict. However, Zelensky and European allies have made it clear that any proposal requiring Ukraine to cede large swathes of territory would only serve to fuel Russia’s expansionist ambitions.
