Our negotiating team delivered a detailed report following their meetings in Switzerland. In particular, we discussed aspects that could not be addressed over the phone. I’m grateful to the team for their precise work within the directives, and also for their patience in all conversations with the Russian side – which have not always been easy or reasonable. It is important that envoys of the U.S. President are also doing everything possible to keep the negotiations constructive, and Ukraine fully supports them in this – our contribution is always focused solely on constructive engagement. We believe that real opportunities to end the war with dignity still exist, and the world’s ability to pressure the aggressor could significantly help ensure that a dignified peace replaces the war. We count on another round of negotiations being organized very soon, as early as this February, and on that round becoming truly productive. Ukraine’s responses to the most difficult questions ahead of the next meeting are ready. The priorities for our negotiating team for the future meeting in the trilateral format and with the United States have been defined. We continue working to ensure readiness for leaders to meet and resolve issues that cannot yet be settled at the team level. It is the leaders’ format that could prove decisive in many respects, and Ukraine is ready for such a format. The team must also secure conditions for progress on humanitarian issues – POW exchanges must continue. We expect that an exchange will be possible very soon. I would like to note separately our European partners: Europe is actively engaged in the process of ending the war, and Europe’s role must grow. We will coordinate with our partners. Ukraine always defends our shared European interests. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine!

Ukraine continues to do everything in its power to ensure that this war has the prospect of a diplomatic resolution. One of the key claims made by Ukraine’s opponents and by those who trust dubious sources is that we in Ukraine supposedly want the war to continue. Your task is to consistently, persuasively, and credibly reject this accusation. It is Ukraine that wants peace. Ukraine has never wanted this war – not for a single day. It is Russia that is doing everything possible to prolong the war and inflict as much damage on human life as it can. We are working toward diplomacy. All leaders who can help know that we are ready for every substantive format. Putin is not ready. And that is precisely the problem. And for there to be a diplomatic path, there must be no obstacles to it in any influential capital in the world. When Moscow does not want peace, Washington and Beijing can make it want peace. And we are doing everything possible to ensure that the capitals of Europe, which Russia does not particularly want to take into account, reach a level where Russia can no longer ignore Europe. This is one of the key objectives of our security and political cooperation with our European partners. From an address at the meeting of heads of Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic missions. (6/7)

Peskov blames Ukraine again for "unwillingness to continue the negotiation process". It is Russia that is unwilling to start a ceasefire and end the war. But Russia will blame anyone else while playing for time. Peskov said: We are currently unable to assess the prospects for resuming the negotiation process because, as we have repeatedly stated, the current pause is due to the Kyiv regime's unwillingness to continue the negotiation process and its unwillingness to respond to the questions we have asked, the draft documents we have submitted, and the proposals for a further working format within various groups. All of this has been left unanswered.

“Our position is well known” — Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist on the war against Russia until the last Ukrainian. “From Russia’s side, there is no serious intention to genuinely engage in negotiations. Our position is well known: we are focused on providing Ukraine with more weapons to ensure it can negotiate from a position of strength. This is necessary to secure a peace that will be favorable to Ukraine — long-term and sustainable.”

We know from our intelligence and our partners that the Russians have readied missiles for a new massive attack on Ukraine. The strike may take place today – we have preliminary information that it could happen within the next 48 hours. Please take care of yourselves and pay attention to air raid alerts. We do expect understanding from our partners – air defense is the first priority where partners can help us. And it is important that more and more is becoming known in our key partner countries about what is really happening in Ukraine, about Russia’s attacks against our people, and about Russia’s efforts to prolong this war. Laura Loomer is in Ukraine these days. She is very close to President Trump. We spoke, and Laura saw a lot in Ukraine, in the capital and beyond – the Lavra, our people, and everything we are going through. I hope that America will continue to stand with Ukraine and that we will be able to end this war with a dignified peace. This is what we need. We are preparing for a meeting with the President of the United States and his team. I thank America. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine – with our people and our efforts to protect life.

We have already prepared our part of the homework ahead of the meeting with President Trump – both the military component and the economic one. Every detail is ready. The agenda of our meeting with the President of the United States is very substantive, and I thank everyone who is helping. This can truly bring the war closer to an end – it is the United States that can wield this kind of global influence, and we are doing everything to ensure that others around the world stand on our side in this effort.

Today our delegation returned from Geneva after negotiations with the American side and European partners. Now the list of necessary steps to end the war can become doable. As of now, after Geneva, there are fewer points – no longer 28 – and many of the right elements have been taken into account in this framework. There is still work for all of us to do together to finalize the document, and we must do everything with dignity. We appreciate that most of the world is ready to help us and that the American side is approaching this constructively. Practically the entire day yesterday was filled with meetings – and it was challenging, extremely thorough work. Our team has reported on the new draft of steps, and this is indeed the right approach – I will discuss the sensitive issues with President Trump. Ukraine will never be an obstacle to peace – this is our principle, a shared principle, and millions of Ukrainians are counting on, and deserve, a dignified peace. We will do everything for this, and we are ready to work as quickly as possible. We also understand how many interests surround Ukraine – and above all, there is the interest from Russia to derail this opportunity for an agreement and to prolong the war. We can see which interests are intertwined, and who is trying really hard to weaken our position – Ukraine’s position – spreading disinformation, intimidating our people… We are countering every such attempt to derail the end of the war. Constructive work with partners is essential to us. We are safeguarding Ukraine’s interests and protecting Ukrainians – this is our key negotiating framework. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and does everything to ensure Ukraine succeeds.

At the end of the week, our team – together with American representatives – will continue to translate the points we secured in Geneva into a form that puts us on the path to peace and security guarantees. There will be a meeting of delegations, and the Ukrainian delegation will be well-prepared and focused on substantive work. We remain in close contact with the American side and our European friends. I am also briefing our partners in other parts of the world, and I am grateful to them for their support of our sovereignty and our state. In the meantime, we are doing everything possible to ensure that Ukraine has sufficient defense support.

We must move toward peace, toward security guarantees, and we need to free our people. We are determined to work as quickly as possible with our partners. The key factor is our partners’ ability to ensure Russia’s readiness not to deceive but to genuinely end the war. Because right now, Russian strikes have not stopped. Around a hundred “Shahed” drones attack Ukraine each night. Missile strikes are regular. Some of our civilian infrastructure and ports have been hit, unfortunately, including in Odesa. We continue our work on the diplomatic front to ensure that all necessary conditions are swiftly in place to apply pressure on Russia, to achieve real peace. I am awaiting a report from the Ukrainian delegation that worked in Saudi Arabia and we are preparing new tasks for our diplomacy.

I held a meeting on the European Union and our integration. This year we are to start negotiations on membership. 🇺🇦 is fully prepared for this - we are doing what is necessary on our part. And we are doing everything possible to ensure that the 🇪🇺 is also fully prepared. Exactly this year.

I held an extended meeting with the military. Among other topics, we discussed the military foundation for diplomacy — the next technical meeting. We are working to ensure it takes place as soon as possible. Ukraine’s interest is not to prolong the war, but to be prepared for any development. It is clear to the world that it is Russia’s fault the war is still ongoing. Ukraine is ready to take the fastest possible steps — for a real ceasefire and the establishment of a new security architecture. We are doing all the necessary groundwork on our side. What’s needed is a reciprocal readiness from Russia – and it’s not there now, and without global pressure, that will not change. We are doing our part to maintain that pressure, primarily through our defence and active operations. I thank all our warriors for their resilience and real results.

We continue working on implementing our Peace Formula. Today, we have another new signature under the Peace Summit communiqué – Botswana has joined – and this is important as a signal to everyone in the world that we are expanding, no matter how difficult it may be, the circle of our partners – and thus the partners of peace for Ukraine and everyone in the world who respects international law. Additionally, these days negotiations are ongoing with participants of our working groups regarding the points of the Peace Formula – negotiations about how and when we will fill the implementation of the points of the Peace Formula with the necessary substance. Our unwavering goal is to prepare a real foundation for a just end to this war already this year. And it is possible.

In the coming weeks, important meetings and negotiations will take place in Ukraine, and we are doing everything to ensure that the June summits—the G7 Summit in Canada and the NATO Summit in the Netherlands—are not hollow. Russia only truly understands one language — the language of force. That is precisely the language that must become the working one across all formats of international engagement in the coming months. Ukraine continues to do everything possible to secure the release of our POWs and the return of our fallen warriors. The full lists from Russia for the exchange of over one thousand people, as agreed in Istanbul, have still not been provided. In typical fashion, the Russian side is once again trying to turn even these matters into a dirty political and information game. For our part, we are doing everything we can to keep the exchange track moving forward.

We are currently preparing for meetings with the U.S. side and our European friends in the coming days. Berlin will host many events. There will be a briefing from Secretary Umerov and our negotiating team on their contacts that have already taken place. General Hnatov and representatives of Ukraine’s defense and security sector will be working on the details of security guarantees for Ukraine, for Ukrainians. At the same time, Ukrainian government officials continue discussions with the United States and Europe on the real recovery and real development of Ukraine after the war. Most importantly, I will be meeting with envoys of President Trump, and there will also be meetings with our European partners, with many leaders, concerning the foundation of peace – a political agreement to end the war. The chance is considerable at this moment, and it matters for our every city, for our every Ukrainian community. We are working to ensure that peace for Ukraine is dignified, and to secure a guarantee – a guarantee, above all, that Russia will not return to Ukraine for a third invasion. I thank all partners who are helping us – helping Ukraine. And over these days in Berlin, we will work as actively and constructively as possible with everyone who can genuinely bring the agreement to normal terms.

Chancellor Merz: Our message to Russia is this: it is time to come to the negotiating table. It is time to agree to a ceasefire. It is time to end the unnecessary bloodshed in Ukraine. It will be up to Ukraine and its partners, not Moscow, to decide exactly how we shape our security guarantees. Ukraine is ready to end the war. It always has been. We, too, are open to peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, with the support of Europe and the United States. It is now entirely up to president Putin to seize this opportunity.

Our priority is to do everything to end the war. We will continue the diplomatic process when our American partners are ready to work as we agreed – bilateral formats with them, trilateral formats with Russia, as well as work with the Europeans. Right now, practically all of the world’s attention is focused on the situation around Iran, and no matter how long the hostilities last there, we must be ready to resume diplomacy at any moment. That's exactly how the Ukrainian team works.

I held a meeting with our negotiating team. It is important that we are in communication with the American side virtually 24/7. At the moment, the partners’ priority and all attention are focused on the situation around Iran, and because of this the meeting that had been planned for this week is being postponed at the proposal of the American side. However, Ukraine is ready for a meeting at any moment, in a format that can help and that will be realistic in terms of ending the war. The team reported on the plans of the Russian side, as far as it is known to us, primarily thanks to our intelligence services. I instructed the team to once again communicate with the American negotiators in order, first, to reiterate our readiness for strategic joint work for security and, in particular, protection against strike drones, and second, to once again confirm our readiness to work substantively toward ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. We see that the Russians are now trying to manipulate the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region in favor of their aggression, and also to effectively turn the Iranian regime’s strikes against its neighbors and American bases into a second front of Russia’s war against Ukraine and, more broadly, against the entire West. This must not be allowed. Evil must not be given opportunities for coordination, but the protection of life must be clearly coordinated. This is exactly what we are working for. Thank you to everyone who helps!

Russia’s entire Kharkiv operation boils down to its attempt to weaken our forces along the frontlines while trying to strengthen propaganda, which is also aimed at world leaders. Russia tries to show that it has the ability to shape the course of the war. Our goal is to thwart Russia’s attempt to expand the war, as well as to prevent the occupiers from breaking the frontline or undermining our diplomacy and efforts to bring a just peace closer. I held a long meeting today to discuss our preparations for the first Peace Summit in Switzerland in June, which will be the first real opportunity to bring a fair end to this war sooner. We are one month away from the summit. Our work continues. We have already received confirmations of attendance from countries on every continent. And we will certainly continue to work at all levels to ensure that the summit is fruitful. Ukraine and many other countries have seen so much Russian meanness and deception, as well as Russia's repeated violations of agreements and pledges, that only the global majority is capable of forcing Russia to respect the UN Charter, international law, and genuine peace.

Today has been a day full of diplomacy and negotiations that could bring us closer to peace. Now on the table is the U.S. proposal for unconditional ceasefire in the sky, at sea, and on the frontlines. Ukraine accepts this proposal, and from here, we can begin a swift move towards guaranteed security, the end of this war and a reliable peace. Our teams worked very well at the meeting in Saudi Arabia, and contacts with the American side are ongoing. We are committed to a constructive approach. And it is still crucial to pressure Russia into being constructive, to put an end all these Russian manipulations that could only prolong the war. I am grateful to everyone who is supporting Ukraine now and our efforts toward peace. Today, I heard many right words about the need to end the war. I heard a lot of approval for Ukraine’s position. We continue our work to unite everyone who can truly help, who can strengthen diplomacy and bring peace closer.

'Russia should make concessions' - Callas advises Zelensky not to listen to the Americans and to continue the war. -In Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky states that the US is putting pressure on Ukraine to cede territory during negotiations. Does this concern you, and will you discuss this? -Of course, this concerns us. We have been observing for a year how Russia is trying to achieve what it failed to achieve by military means over 12 years - to obtain these territories at the negotiating table. This is clearly the wrong approach. This is, in fact, a typical Russian negotiation tactic - to demand what has never belonged to them. That's why we warn that this is a trap that we should not fall into. In fact, to find a solution to this war, clear concessions from Russia are necessary. And if we, together with the Americans, exert pressure on Russia, then we can achieve the end of this war and sustainable peace in the long term. - SK
