Zelensky emphasized Ukraine’s readiness for peace talks in Istanbul, calling for a ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, and the return of abducted children. He warned that if no progress is made, new sanctions on Russia must follow. “The 18th EU sanctions package and strong US sanctions—especially those promised by President Trump—must be implemented immediately,” he said.

NATO’s Mark Rutte stated that the alliance’s eastern flank is now “longer and stronger than ever,” with added troops and expanded defense initiatives in response to the threat from Russia.
