President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that there have been more than 30 consultations with partners to put pressure on Russia. Ukraine and its allies seek to force Russia to make an honest peace.

According to him, the participants in these discussions represent different parts of the world and have different views, but overall they defend common positions on the war in Ukraine.

"This war must be ended. Pressure must be exerted on Russia for the sake of a just peace," Zelenskyy emphasizes.

He adds that Ukraine, together with its partners, is using its experience to prevent deception on the part of Russia.

The President stresses that there are currently no signs that Russia is preparing to end the war.

"Our coordinated efforts and joint actions – of Ukraine, the United States, Europe, and all countries that seek peace – can definitely compel Russia to make peace," he says.

Zelenskyy thanks all partners and countries that support Ukraine in its desire to end the war and establish stable peace.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will hold talks with European leaders and US President Trump on August 13. Three separate online meetings are planned.

According to a German government spokesperson, Trump's video conference with Zelenskyy and European leaders is expected to take place today at noon GMT.
