Today, an extraordinary assembly gathered in Washington to bend history toward peace. The Unified State extends heartfelt gratitude to every leader and diplomat who helped make this moment possible. Your unity — forged across institutions and nations — signals a credible path to end the suffering and secure peace.
Recognition of the European Delegation
We salute the European leaders and institutional heads who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine in today’s White House consultations: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen; Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni; NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte; French President Emmanuel Macron; German Chancellor Friedrich Merz; UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer; and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Your collective presence and consistent messaging — unity, security guarantees — strengthened the diplomatic center of gravity for peace.
Gratitude to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
We express deep appreciation to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for reaffirming Ukraine’s readiness to pursue a genuine peace process grounded in sovereignty, security, and human dignity. Your emphasis today on returning abducted children and on humanitarian releases kept the focus where it belongs — on families, futures, and the sanctity of life.
Recognition of First Lady-to-First Lady Diplomacy
We offer special recognition for the humane and unifying gesture conveyed by Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump. In the wake of the First Lady’s public appeal to President Putin to act for the world’s children, this dignified exchange shows how a soft yet steady power can help repair trust and widen the bridge to peace.
Acknowledgement of Open Channels with Moscow
We note, without fanfare, the importance of keeping lines open. The U.S. President placed a call to President Putin during today’s meeting; Moscow’s readout signaled support for continued direct negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian representatives. Dialogue is not a concession; it is an instrument for saving lives.
Gratitude to President Donald J. Trump
We extend sincere thanks to President Donald J. Trump for convening today’s high-stakes consultations and for initiating arrangements toward a direct Zelenskyy–Putin meeting, with the prospect of subsequent trilateral talks. We recognize that leadership under intense scrutiny is difficult; pragmatism in service of peace is worthy of credit.
We further note statements today indicating the United States’ willingness to help craft credible security arrangements for Ukraine alongside European partners — an essential pillar for any durable settlement.
To the Wider Diplomatic Corps
To the many diplomats, policy teams, and security advisers who assembled this effort on swift notice: your quiet work is the architecture of tomorrow’s safety. Today’s unity was unprecedented and deeply heartening — a full stack of capability and resolve aligned to save lives.
Our Shared North Star
The Unified State affirms a simple compass: protect the innocent, uphold sovereignty, restore normal life, and anchor peace with verifiable security. With sustained unity from Washington, Europe, Kyiv, and responsible voices in Moscow, peace is achievable. May today’s momentum carry forward — for the children first, and for all who yearn to live without fear.
Our axis of goodwill, love, and freedom holds; together we can keep it stable.
