Early this morning, President Trump debriefed us and President Zelenskyy following his meeting with the Russian President in Alaska on 15 August 2025.
Leaders welcomed President Trump’s efforts to stop the killing in Ukraine, end Russia’s war of aggression, and achieve just and lasting peace.
As President Trump said ‘there’s no deal until there’s a deal’. As envisioned by President Trump, the next step must now be further talks including President Zelenskyy, whom he will meet soon.
We are also ready to work with President Trump and President Zelenskyy towards a trilateral summit with European support.
We are clear that Ukraine must have ironclad security guarantees to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. We welcome President Trump’s statement that the US is prepared to give security guarantees. The Coalition of the Willing is ready to play an active role. No limitations should be placed on Ukraine’s armed forces or on its cooperation with third countries. Russia cannot have a veto against Ukraine‘s pathway to EU and NATO.
It will be up to Ukraine to make decisions on its territory. International borders must not be changed by force.
Our support to Ukraine will continue. We are determined to do more to keep Ukraine strong in order to achieve an end to the fighting and a just and lasting peace.
As long as the killing in Ukraine continues, we stand ready to uphold the pressure on Russia. We will continue to strengthen sanctions and wider economic measures to put pressure on Russia’s war economy until there is a just and lasting peace.
Ukraine can count on our unwavering solidarity as we work towards a peace that safeguards Ukraine’s and Europe’s vital security interests.

I wish Europe would stop the BS and tell TACO the truth for once. This is a European problem, and you TACO are part of the problem, not the solution.
Ukraine will never be Europe and Scandinavia and the Baltic States will never stay Europe. The Rhineland, Holland and Portugal are okay partners for sure, but being absorbed by a globalist shithole is almost equal to becoming part of ruSSia.
Fuck the EU!
I just heard a news report that the leaders of Germany, France , Italy, GB and Ursula will be attending the meeting in the WH to show complete alliance with Ukraine. They don’t want Zelensky being beat up by the fuckin asswioe Trump. Bravo
DT just now :
“Sir Keir Starmer will join Volodymyr Zelensky for his crucial meeting with Donald Trump on Monday, Downing Street has confirmed.
Sir Keir will attend the talks alongside a number of European leaders.
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, German chancellor Friedrich Merz, French president Emmanuel Macron and Nato secretary general Mark Rutte also confirmed that they will be at the meeting in the White House tomorrow.
Alexander Stubb, the Finnish president, and Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, will also be there.
Downing Street said that Sir Keir “stands ready to support this next phase of further talks and will reaffirm that his backing for Ukraine will continue as long as it takes.”
It is understood that Europe is drafting its “heavy hitters” to protect Mr Zelensky from Mr Trump’s ire in the Oval Office on Monday, after a February clash between the leaders of the US and Ukraine set back relations for months.
Zelensky is expected to meet with Ms von der Leyen shortly, before a wider Coalition of the Willing meeting with European leaders at 2pm BST.”
That’s a strong delegation.
In order to force Krasnov out of putler ass-kissing mode, they will need to deploy the type of language that he understands.
I don’t expect them to go in hard unfortunately, but this is what they should say :
We commit to immediately sending 3 divisions of mechanized infantry and providing air cover for them and all of southern Ukraine.
These will not be “peacekeepers” : they are combat troops who will fight back strongly if attacked.”
They will deploy on the Odesa and Mykolaiv oblasts: thus freeing off thousands of Ukrainian troops for the frontline.”
“What we want from you Mr President is the Graham-Blumenthal “bone crushing sanctions” and the immediate supply of 300 Tomahawk missiles.”
“We will pay for these items.
We hope and expect that you will now at last stop aiding and abetting the war criminal and child murderer putler.”
We’ll see how the meeting in Washington will go. Don’t get your hopes too high, though.
Yes, that is a good show of strength and unity. Let’s hope no one will collapse.
