@IsaCNN Strength, unity, and action—this is how you stand against tyranny. Ukraine will win because real leaders back words with weapons. Slava Ukraini!

@IsaCNN Ilman Yhdysvaltoja se on ohi Ukrainalle. Elinana on vain pelinappula länsimaisessa shakkipelissä sen konfliktissa Kremlin kanssa.

This is the first time we have the Coalition of the Willing in the format of Defence ministers. This meeting is important to show our support for Ukraine and explore ways to strengthen it. My doorstep @nato ahead of the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing ↓

President Trump wants peace, Europe wants peace and Ukraine wants peace. There is only one missing: Putin. What we don’t want is Putin cherry-picking and misusing the effort President Trump has put in to achieve peace. Thanks for the interview, Isa Soares.

The Coalition of the Willing is creating the conditions of a lasting peace in Ukraine. The first security guarantees are strong Ukrainian armed forces. Second, reassurance forces with US support Third, a robust European defence posture. We want peace for Ukraine ↓

Today, we also held a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. We are not merely maintaining this format. Within the Coalition, we are moving toward the point when we will be able to say that peace is drawing closer. And it is precisely our cooperation here in Europe, together with the United States, the President of the United States, and everyone around the world who wants peace, that is bringing the end of the war closer. There were 40 participants today, with Moldova and North Macedonia joining the Coalition. Many participants noted today that, thanks to our warriors and our operations, the situation is now unique, and our entirely justified pressure on Russia is indeed significant. We need to exert even more pressure. There must be greater cooperation in Europe. Joint press conference with the co-chairs of the Coalition of the Willing. (3/3)

#WATCH | Washington, DC | In a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, US President Donald Trump says, "...It's an honour to have the President of Ukraine with us. We have had a lot of good discussions, a lot of good talks. I think progress is being made, very substantial progress in many ways. We had a good meeting just a short while ago with the President of Russia. I think, there is a possibility that something could come out of it and today's meeting is very important. We have 7 very powerful leaders from Europe and are going to be meeting with them right after this meeting..." (Video: White House)

We held a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, and this is an important format for supporting Ukraine's security now and in the future. We are working to ensure that the security guarantees include serious components of European deterrence and are reliable, and it is important that the United States is with us and supports these efforts. No one is interested in a third Russian invasion. And right now, defense support for Ukraine is especially important, because Russia’s attacks are not stopping, and there must be greater protection of life for diplomacy to work toward a just peace. Thank you to everyone who is helping.

We are working on the results of our recent negotiations – meetings in Europe and discussions with our partners. I had a conversation with President Biden, and we are preparing for meetings in Ukraine with the American team, including political and military representatives. We are developing our Victory Plan in discussions with our partners. Additionally, preparations for the second Peace Summit – good faith diplomacy – are underway. Our goal is to end the war in a way that guarantees safety and peace for all Ukrainians and for Ukraine as a whole. I am grateful to every leader and every country that has understood our security arguments and is ready to help steer the current situation toward peace.

PM Keir Starmer: “So we are clear, all five leaders here - all the leaders of the meeting we just had with the coalition of the willing - an unconditional ceasefire, rejecting Putin's conditions, and clear that if he turns his back on peace, we will respond. Working with President Trump, with all our partners, we will ramp up sanctions and increase our military aid for Ukraine's defense to pressure Russia back to the table.”

Had a meeting with members of the Coalition of the Willing on the situation in Ukraine. The European position is to engage and continue to support Ukraine. This a very serious moment in the war and must be handled with considerable firmness and skill.

Very good meeting of NATO Defence Ministers today. We discussed real progress made as Allies increase defence investment, ramp up defence industry, and continue to support Ukraine But I also saw a real shift in mindset. Unity of vision on a much stronger European defence within NATO. Europe is really stepping up. We are working together - Europe & North America - to deliver effective deterrence and defence

Our geography and the nature of our neighbour are nothing new to us. That is why we have never compromised on our investments in defence and deterrence. Thank you for the interview, CNBC.

President Macron during his visit to the UK: "And because every time Vladimir Putin's Russia advances in Ukraine, the threat moves closer to us all, we will never accept the theory that might is right. And I want to be clear, this is why, together with you, Mr. Prime Minister, we decided to launch last February this coalition of the willing you mentioned. And this coalition was just a signal that Europeans will never abandon Ukraine, never. And whatever the decisions could be elsewhere, we will fight to the very last minute in order to get this ceasefire, in order to start the negotiations to build a robust and sustainable peace, because this is our security and our principles together, which are at stake in Ukraine. This is the possibility of a Europe in peace our generation did enjoy during the past decade, which is at stake in Ukraine. Nothing less. And together we will follow up on these efforts."

President of Ukraine: We have received an invitation [to join US-led Board of Peace]. Diplomats are working on this invitation. Russia is our enemy, and Belarus is its ally. To be honest, for now, it is very difficult for me to imagine how we could be together with Russia in any council. And it's not about this peace council. It's just that Russia is about the council of war. And Belarus is with them, namely, Lukashenko's regime.

Together with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, we discussed the outcomes of the leaders’ summit on support for Ukraine and European security, and held a meeting at the British Embassy in Paris. It is important that everyone understands – Russia does not seek real peace today and is dragging out the war. Following the leaders' meeting today, there is a strong reaffirmation that sanctions against Russia must not be lifted as long as the aggression continues. And we will continue working on security guarantees for Ukraine. I thank France and the United Kingdom for their leadership in the coalition of the willing and capable—a coalition of strength for the sake of peace. Our unity and joint work in Europe, with the United States, and other partners, can force Russia into peace.

Meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. Today's format was expanded – for the first time, representatives of the United States took part in our meeting, including General Kellogg, Senators Graham and Blumenthal. A total of 32 participants – heads and representatives of states, governments, and international organizations. I’m grateful for this level of engagement. It is important that the format of the Coalition of the Willing is working – working for long-term security and for protection against Russian strikes right now. Everyone acknowledges that this is a war that can only be overcome through unity – and we have built the unity we need. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine, everyone who is with us now in defending life.

If Moscow continues to resist a ceasefire, Europe and the U.S. “will increase the pressure,” — Macron Arriving in Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on X about the goals of the “coalition of the willing.” According to him, the security of all Europe is at stake in Ukraine. Macron called for the establishment of a just and lasting peace, which must begin with a full and unconditional ceasefire. “That is the proposal we are advancing with the United States. Ukraine accepted it on March 11. Russia, however, delays, sets preconditions, plays for time, and continues its war of invasion. If Moscow continues to obstruct, we will step up the pressure — together, as Europeans and in close coordination with the United States.” he promised.
