Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted Ukraine's ongoing efforts to end the war with Russia, emphasizing that it is Russia's responsibility to agree to a ceasefire and engage in genuine diplomacy to ensure lasting peace, as he wrote in a post on his official Telegram channel on August 7.
Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine has unwavering support from its international partners, expressing gratitude for this solidarity. He stressed that Russia's war against Ukraine is a war in Europe and against Europe.
“Every decision made to end this war and guarantee security is of concern to all of Europe, not just one country,” he said.
The President underscored the importance of Europe's voice in the peace process, noting that Ukraine is working closely with European leaders to align positions and ensure the continent’s interests are protected.
"We are planning meetings on the continent to discuss these matters further," he added.
