Zelensky and Kellogg discuss pressure on Russia and return of Ukrainian children

Zelensky said this in a post on Facebook, stressing that this was a good meeting, according to Ukrinform.

“Ukraine is deeply grateful to the United States for its support, and we value that President Trump is so determined to achieve real peace. It is very important to realize all the results—political, defense, and economic—that were achieved during our meeting together with European leaders in Washington,” Zelensky wrote.

He noted that undoubtedly, it was a successful summit, a demonstration of true unity between Europe and America.

“Ukraine, as always, is uniting the world. We value the United States’ readiness to be part of the security architecture for Ukraine, and our teams are actively working on shaping it. We expect that the key foundations of security will be defined shortly,” the President noted.

He stressed that military cooperation is important for both Ukraine and the United States,

“And there are two strong opportunities—an agreement on arms procurement and an agreement on drones that could significantly strengthen our arsenals. We are maintaining momentum in our work within PURL. This is an important instrument for procuring American equipment funded by partners, and we are now actively working on engaging additional countries,” the head of state noted.

Zelensky also focused on the humanitarian track, particularly the return of all abducted children.

“We strongly hope that America, President and the First Lady of the United States will continue to make personal efforts to bring back all children illegally abducted by Russia,” Zelensky said.
