President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s statements at the media briefing:<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f There is no encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region. russia aims to encircle them in this direction, but on Ukrainian territory. Our command is aware of their intentions. The buildup of russian forces near the border indicates that russia is not seeking peace.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f It is important for the U.S. not to fall for russia\u2019s \u201cbuts\u201d regarding a ceasefire. A 30-day silence is an opportunity for all parties to demonstrate a genuine willingness to end the war\u2014or the opposite.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Ukraine is ready for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, as proposed by the U.S. If russia does not agree, it means it is rejecting the U.S. proposal, not Ukraine\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f If the russians violate the ceasefire, Ukrainians will continue to defend their homeland.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Partners highly praised the Ukrainian negotiation team that participated in the talks in Saudi Arabia. Europe also wants to form its own negotiation team.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f A summit with partner countries on Ukraine is now happening almost weekly. Another meeting in an online format may take place within a week.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f The promised \u20ac150 billion for strengthening Europe\u2019s defense capabilities will soon be allocated, and Ukraine will have an equal approach to this process.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f At the summit, partners raised the issue of a fixed security guarantees plan. The German and Turkish sides also emphasized the need for a reconstruction plan.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Everyone is counting on allied security guarantees\u2014from Europe, the U.S., and other willing participants. There is also discussion about potential formats of troop contingents.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f The decision on NATO membership should depend on NATO allies, not russia\u2019s wishes.<\/p>\n
