Zelensky also hoped that the UK Prime Minister Kir Starm would discuss in detail with Trump the issue of securing the future of Ukraine during his state visit this week.
“Before we finish the war, I really want all deals to be concluded. I want … to have a document supported by the US and all European partners. This is very important. To happen, we need a clear position of President Trump,” Zelensky said.
He recalled that the EU has already approved 18 packages of sanctions against the Russian Federation, and “everything that is missing is now a strong package of sanctions from the US.”

- In turn, Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted that the US administration understands what sanctions can impose against Russia, but the final decision will be made directly by Trump.
