Yermak's Meeting with Kellogg — Discussion Highlights

As the Ukrainian official noted, the conversation with Kellogg focused on uniting efforts to end the war in Ukraine through the establishment of a fair and lasting peace. Yermak emphasized that Putin never plays by the rules.

"Russians respect only strength and despise those who do not use it. Any agreements without strong pressure on Russia will not work — control over Ukraine remains the foundation of the Kremlin's imperial ambitions. That is why our shared duty is to ensure that the aggressor pays a real price for all that has been done," stated Andriy Yermak.

Furthermore, the officials discussed the ongoing support for Ukraine. According to Yermak, this is not only about the security of our state but also of all countries in Europe and the world.

"Supporting Ukraine now is much cheaper than confronting a stronger Russia later," wrote the head of the Office.

Recall that Trump's special representative for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, stated that Zelensky and Putin should engage in direct negotiations. He emphasized that both sides would have to make concessions.

Earlier, the State Department announced the visit of special representative of U.S. President Donald Trump, Keith Kellogg to Ukraine. The purpose of the visit will be to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
