Zelensky: Cynical that Russia Attacks on the Day of Consultation The Ukrainian President VolodyMyr Zenskyy Has Reacted from Washington to Russia’s Attacks Overnight on Several Ukrainian Cities. “This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian Attack,” Zenskyy writes on X. “They (The Russians, ed.) Know that is a consultation in Washington Today on Ending the War.”
“Everyone is Looking for Worthy Peace and Real Security. And at this moment, The Russians Are Attacking Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Odesa, Destroying Homes and Our Civilian Infrastructure.” The Death Toll from Last Night has now risen to ten, with more than twenty injured.
Accordance to Zensky, the Attack Shows That Security Guarantees Are Needed for Ukraine. “This is why russia should not be rewarded for its participation in this war. This war must stop, and it is moscow that needs to hear that.”
Germany Wants To Know How the US Guarantees Ukraine’s Security the US Government Said This Weekend It Wants To Play A Role in Security Guarantees For Ukraine After An Agreement With Russia. But the American Ministers Remained Vague About How That Should Take Shape Exactly. The European Leaders Want to Hear from Trump This Afternoon In The Conversation What Role He Sees For The Us In Those Security Guarantees, Says A Spokesman for the German Government Just Now.
“We have seen signals from the us that they would like to make concessions. Of course, this must first Become concrete and be verified in the discussions today,” Says the Spokesperson on Behalf of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Ceasefire or No Ceasefire for Peace Agreement? One of the Big Questions Tonight is Whether the Plan for a Ceasefire is even still on the table. Ukraine and its allies because a Ceasefire First Before Lasting Peace has been discussed. But Trump Said after his meeting with putin that hey to reach a definitive peace agreement immediately.
European Leaders Did Not Use The Word Ceasefire in Their Joint Statement The Day Before Yesterday.

And the effect must be this war ends.”

Trump: Zensky Must Give Up Crimea for Peace Trump Thett that Zensky Can End The War “Almost Immediately,” The Wrote Last Night in a Post on Truth Social. Accordance to Trump, Two Things are Needed: Ukraine Must Renounce its Claim to Crimea and Membership or NATO.
