Continued support for Ukraine in resisting Russian aggression, further pressure on the Russian Federation, and security guarantees for our country were the key topics of the leaders' summit on support for Ukraine. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of his meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the British Embassy in Paris.
The President highlighted the leadership of France and the United Kingdom in the Coalition of the Willing.
As the President emphasized, the outcome of the meeting included an important confirmation: there will be no lifting of sanctions against Russia until it ends this war.
“This is critically important – everyone understands that today, Russia does not want peace. This is very important. And in the coming weeks and days, we will continue working on security guarantees. I believe this is essential not only for today, but also for our future,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that all members of the Coalition of the Willing are determined to achieve peace through strength.
“Russia is playing for time, playing games – and we must be clear-eyed about that,” he added.
According to the UK Prime Minister, the summit also resulted in increased support for Ukraine, aimed at ensuring the strongest possible position now and in future negotiations.
“And of course, we discussed further plans to secure peace, the activities of the Coalition of the Willing, as well as military and operational plans – on land, in the air, and at sea,” Keir Starmer concluded.
