A day dedicated to diplomatic engagement.
"I extend my gratitude to the American delegation, including Secretary Rubio, Special Envoy Witkoff, and Special Envoy Kellogg; the Ukrainian delegation, represented by Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Yermak, Minister Sybiha, and Minister Umerov; as well as the representatives from the United Kingdom, Secretary Lammy and Advisor Powell; and from Germany, Advisor Plötner, for their attendance and the fruitful discussions we had today at the Élysée.
"We are all clearly aligned in our aspiration for peace. From the outset, we have endorsed President Trump's initiative to bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine as quickly as possible. This reflects a robust commitment from Europe and a readiness to collaborate closely with the United States.
"Today, we engaged in a constructive dialogue focused on achieving both a ceasefire and a comprehensive, enduring peace.
"I communicated with President Zelensky both prior to and following the meetings to ensure our efforts are coordinated.
"Discussions will resume next week in London."
