Ukrainians are defending what is theirs. Even those who side with Russia know that it commits evil. Of course, we will not give Russia awards for what it has done. The Ukrainian people deserve peace. But all partners must understand what a just peace means. This war must be ended, and Russia must end it. Russia started it and is prolonging it, ignoring all deadlines — and that is the problem, not anything else.
The answer to Ukraine’s territorial question is already in the Constitution of Ukraine. No one will, or can, deviate from this. Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.
Ukraine is ready for real solutions that can bring peace. Any decisions made against us, any decisions made without Ukraine, are simultaneously decisions against peace. They will achieve nothing. These are dead decisions — they will never work. And what we all need is a real, living peace that people will respect. We are ready, together with President Trump and with all partners, to work for a real and, most importantly, lasting peace — a peace that will not collapse because of Moscow’s will.
I thank all our people for being together. Ukraine exists. I thank all our warriors for preserving our independence. Stand strong. This is our land, we are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!
