We need peace, not endless war,\u201d Zelensky said following a summit in London with Ukraine\u2019s European allies over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the near future, all of us in Europe will shape our common positions \u2013 the lines we must achieve and the lines we cannot compromise on. These positions will be presented to our partners in the United States,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Zelensky was taught a lesson by his allies in the Oval Office on Friday, security guarantees from Europe will help mend the rift between Washington and Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that his country, France, \u201cand others,\u201d would work with Ukraine to come up with a way to end the fighting. They would then present this plan to Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot, gave diplomatic assurances by saying that the ceasefire on \u201cair, sea, and energy\u201d would give allies a chance to see if Russia was ready to end the war with Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, he said he thought Trump and Zelensky could start talking again. This was a message echoed by Peter Mandelson, Britain\u2019s U.S. ambassador, who said on Sunday that relations needed a \u201cvery radical reset\u201d and that Zelensky and Trump should try to talk again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the U.S. to support a lasting peace deal again, Ukraine\u2019s European allies have said they are ready to support a truce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: Volodymyr Zelensky says that nobody can change him from the Presidency: <br><br>\u201cAs it regards to my resignation&#8230;To change me, it will not be easy because it is not enough to simply hold elections\u2026 You&#39;ll have to negotiate with me.

American security has been degraded, our stockpiles depleted, our ability to project power in other regions of the world negatively affected to protect and defend Ukraine,\u201d Miller continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmericans probably don\u2019t even know the true extent of just how much military support on multiple levels and fronts America has provided to Ukraine, and then this man shows up in the Oval Office and lectures us, says we have to do more, says we\u2019re not as good as Europe, says that we need to provide them a forever war guarantee, fight Russia till the end of time,\u201d Miller added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo American watching that today says they want to send their sons and daughters to die on behalf of Zelenskyy, and President Trump was clear and firm and principled saying either you\u2019re our partner for peace in ending this war, or we can\u2019t work with you. And Zelenskyy for the first time since this has begun, finally met a Western leader willing to assert their own interests, the interests of their own country and not bow down to and venerate this man as a messianic figure,\u201d the adviser noted further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmericans have watched with horror as Zelenskyy has been treated as a messiah. Our hearts all break for the suffering and loss and death. But you know what will be even worse, World War Three, and today, President Trump said, we are not going to let this escalate into World War Three. He defended the Oval Office, he defended the White House, and most importantly, he defended the American people. And I was honored and proud to be there to witness this moment in history,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has no plans to resign after his disastrous Oval Office meeting with President Donald<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-93","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93\/revisions\/95"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/94"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
