Ukraine fears Russia will be revived in a peace agreement that does not involve the threat of Ukrainian partners coming to its aid in the event of a violation.
“For peace to become a reality, you need real security guarantees. And this is all European status – the whole continent,” Zelensky said in a social media post Monday three days after President Trump and Vice President JD Vance accused him of being “disrespectful” and not offering thanks. Controversial Oval Office Meeting and News camera is lying.
“Of course we understand the importance of America and we are grateful for all the support we have received from the United States,” Zelensky said Monday. “There have been no days when we weren’t grateful.

After Sunday’s summit, Zelensky briefed the Ukrainians, where he said that although he believes the peace deal with Russia is “still very, very far away,” relations between Ukraine and the United States remain strong.
“Because our relationship (with the US) is more than just a matter of occasional relations,” Zelensky said, referring to the support that the US has provided Ukraine since the Russian invasion. His comments were covered by the Associated Press.
Later on Monday, Trump posted a link to the Associated Press story covering Zelensky’s comments, criticizing the Ukrainian leader.
“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not hold back that much longer!” Trump said. “That’s what I was saying. This guy doesn’t want peace as long as he has American support. Europe frankly said at a meeting with Zelensky that they can’t work without the US – perhaps not a great statement that it was made in terms of a show of strength against Russia.”
What came out of the London Summit?
Priority said on Monday that there were “many options on the table” for a potential peace plan to end the war that Russia launched, and that they were all developed alongside Ukraine, but he “want to enter into the running commentary on options.”
“We must learn from past mistakes,” said Hoshi. “We cannot accept weak transactions that Russia can easily violate. Instead, any transactions must be supported by strength.”
Ahead of the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron told local media that the plan, which could involve a month-long ceasefire, would cover only air, seas and energy infrastructure, rather than continuous, deadly ground combat.
After the summit, the priority announced four key points that he said had been agreed by European leaders.

The ripple effects from the White House meeting are still felt
Russia praised Trump after the clash with Zelenskyy. This comes a week after the US leader saw Moscow started a full-scale invasion and then pushed, including claims that Moscow started the war and that Zelenskyy was a non-gimatiial leader.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that “the Kiev administration and Zelensky do not want peace,” adding that the clash between Trump and Zelenskyi “showed how difficult it is to reach a settlement trajectory around Ukraine.”
“It’s very important for someone to force Zelensky himself to change his position,” Peskov said. “Someone needs to have Zelensky want peace. If Europeans can do that, they should be respected and praised.”
In the meantime, Russia has been smashing Ukraine with deadly airstrikes. More than 80 explosive drones have been launched in Ukraine overnight, including CBS News’ partner network BBC News, reported on Monday, with at least eight people dead, including a seven-year-old child.
Zelensky said on Sunday that Ukraine is still willing to sign a mineral trade with the Trump administration, which grants US access to Ukraine’s precious natural resources. He was expected to sign the contract last week when he visited Washington, but he did not commit to it in advance as it is unclear whether Ukraine is offering security guarantees in exchange for mineral wealth.
US national security adviser Mike Waltz spoke on Fox News on Monday, and it seemed Zelensky was “not ready to speak peace.” However, he said that Ukrainian leaders are seen as changing their stance, showing that they “remorse” how things happened in Washington, and that they are ready to sign a deal on Ukrainian minerals. He even suggested that Trump could come together in time to announce the deal when he delivers. Address nationwide Tuesday night.
“We certainly want to see it happen,” Waltz said.
Previously US Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent “It is impossible to enter into an economic contract without a peace agreement,” he accused Zelensky of abandoning the “sequencing” of dealings by attempting to “trust” the oval office “in front of the world.”
However, some European leaders opposed the interpretation of the event.
“My assessment is not a spontaneous response to Zelensky’s intervention, but it is clearly an escalation induced at this meeting in an elliptical office.” Friedrich Merzlikely Germany’s next leader, said Monday. “We must now show that we are in a position to act independently in Europe.”
