Turin, 18 August (LaPresse) – ‘Russia can only be forced to peace through force’. This was written on X by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who met with the US Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, thanking him ‘for the meeting and for the joint work with our team. President Trump today invited Ukraine and other European countries to Washington. This is the first meeting in this format, and it is very important.’ ‘When we talk about peace for one country in Europe, we mean peace for all of Europe. We are ready to continue working with the utmost commitment to end the war and ensure reliable security. These are the fundamental issues,’ Zelensky continued. "Last night, Russian attacks on our cities continued. Among the dead are two children, and dozens of people were injured. People were simply sleeping when the Russian army struck the cities,‘ he explains. ’We discussed the situation on the battlefield and our strong diplomatic capabilities, those of Ukraine and of all of Europe together with America. Russia can only be forced to peace through strength, and President Trump has that strength. We must do everything right to make peace a reality," he concludes.
