“We are discussing the presence of U.S. troops in Ukraine with President Trump,” Zelenskyy said‼️ Other statements from the President to press today: - Reports of strikes on Putin’s residence are fake. No one attacked it. This claim is linked to the successful negotiations between the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations, which culminated in our meeting with President Trump. - Despite all of Russia’s media attempts to discredit our talks with the Americans, we continue working every day. Today alone, our team — led by Umerov together with the Americans and Steve Witkoff — held several calls. We are discussing our next steps. - Support for the Ukrainian army is priority number one in the security guarantees. We are talking about a force of 800,000 people who will need proper support. Ukraine relies on its partners in this matter as well. - Security guarantees will be implemented step by step. For us, the first priority is that a monitoring mission is deployed simultaneously with a ceasefire. It will be led by our trusted partners, who have the technical capacity to do this: satellites, infrastructure, including drones. - On possible Russian false-flag operations, Zelenskyy said: “This issue is covered in the second part of the security guarantees, which specify how our partners will respond in case of violations." - On whether Europeans should engage in dialogue with Russia, Zelenskyy explained: “Our main agreement has twenty points designed to end the war. We see four signatories: Ukraine, the U.S., Russia, and Europe. Before signing, details of the agreement will be discussed. As for other security guarantees, there are bilateral Ukraine–U.S. agreements modeled on NATO’s Article 5, as well as bilateral security agreements with our partners, united in a coalition of the willing.” - Russia does not want a referendum and will constantly look for excuses to prevent a ceasefire.
