According to FREEДOM: 'Ukraine is extremely grateful to the United States for their support, and we appreciate that President Trump is determined to achieve real peace. It is very important to implement all the results — political, defense, economic — achieved during our meeting together with European leaders in Washington,' emphasized the president.

He noted that the meeting in Washington with the President of the United States and European leaders is a demonstration of true unity between Europe and America.

'Ukraine, as always, unites the world. We appreciate the readiness of the U.S. to be part of the security architecture for Ukraine, and our teams are actively working on its development. We expect that key security principles will be defined soon,' said Volodymyr Zelensky.

The parties discussed what leverage could be used on Russia to compel real negotiations and end the war.

'Sanctions, tariffs — everything must remain on the agenda. We are ready to talk in a leaders' format. This format is necessary to address key issues. Now the same readiness is needed in Moscow,' emphasized the head of state.

He also noted that military cooperation is important for both Ukraine and the U.S.

'There are two strong opportunities — a weapons procurement agreement and a drone agreement, which can significantly strengthen our arsenals. We are keeping pace and working within the PURL framework. This is an important tool for procuring American equipment with partner funds, and we are actively working to engage additional countries,' said the president.

Another topic of discussion was the humanitarian track.

'The return of all buried children. We hope that America, the president, and the First Lady of the U.S. will continue to make personal efforts to return all the children buried by Russia,' added Volodymyr Zelensky.
