KYIV, Ukraine (CHATNEWSTV) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday reiterated Ukraine’s commitment to peace, urging international leaders to unite efforts in support of diplomacy and an end to the war.
“Now on the table is the U.S. proposal for an unconditional ceasefire in the sky, at sea, and on the frontlines. Ukraine accepts this proposal,” Zelenskyy said in a video address. “From here, we can begin a swift move toward guaranteed security, the end of this war, and a reliable peace.”
He emphasized ongoing diplomatic efforts, including talks with Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, and American Pastor Franklin Graham, all of whom expressed support for Ukraine’s pursuit of peace.
Zelenskyy also discussed ceasefire monitoring and security guarantees with French President Emmanuel Macron. “Emmanuel, as always, has a clear knowledge of all the details and offers good ideas,” he said.
The Ukrainian leader is scheduled to speak with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and will address a summit of European partners on Saturday. “We will present our position and real information about current developments—on the frontline, in the Kursk region, and in all our contacts with partners,” he said.
“Security is a priority. Peace is a priority. Ukraine’s independence is a priority,” Zelenskyy concluded. “I thank everyone who is helping.”
