Turin, Aug. 5 (LaPresse) – “Productive conversation with President Trump, whose main goal is, of course, ending the war. We are grateful to the President of the United States for all efforts made toward a just and lasting peace. It is truly necessary to stop the killings as soon as possible, and we fully support him. Many months could have already passed without war if Russia had not prolonged it. Today we coordinated our positions – Ukraine and the United States. We exchanged assessments of the situation: the Russians have intensified the brutality of their attacks. President Trump is fully informed about the Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities and communities. Naturally, we discussed sanctions against Russia. Their economy continues to decline, and that’s precisely why Moscow is so sensitive to this prospect and to President Trump’s determination. This could change a lot,” wrote Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on X. “We also discussed joint European decisions that can contribute to our defense. We already have commitments from the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark: over $1 billion for U.S. weapons that Ukraine will receive. Thank you. This cooperation with NATO countries will continue. We also discussed our bilateral defense cooperation with the United States. A draft agreement on drones has already been prepared by the Ukrainian side, and we are ready to discuss it in detail and finalize it. One of the strongest agreements imaginable. Thanks to every American heart that supports our defense of life. Thank you, President Trump.”
