All of us are in agreement—we want peace,

That is what unites us.

Today, Russia gives no sign that it sincerely wants peace.

The experience we have over the past 15 years

with President Putin’s approach,

is that every time he thinks he can win through war,

he does not negotiate peace.

That is the reality.

You have an American president, a European president,

a Ukrainian president, all of whom want peace.

For my part, I have the gravest doubts about the reality,

of the key intentions of the Russian president,

because as long as he thinks he can win through war,

he will do so.

And so, for us, our goal is simple,

to have peace as quickly as possible,

so as to have as little territorial loss for Ukraine as possible,

to have a Ukraine that has chosen Europe,

to be able to continue choosing Europe freely,

and to guarantee the security of Europeans.

For Ukraine today and tomorrow,

and for us Europeans, because it is our security.
