We are also receiving reports from regions of Ukraine following Russian strikes. Sumy – a Russian strike on the central market. Dnipropetrovsk region – strikes on cities and enterprises. Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk – deliberate Russian strikes. The war continues. It continues precisely because there is not only no order, but also no signals that Moscow is preparing to end this war,” Zelenskyy said.“On the day of the negotiations, they are also killing. And that speaks volumes,” he added.The president emphasized that Ukraine and Europe need a genuine end to the war and that Kyiv is ready to work productively to achieve peace.“We hope for a strong position from America. Everything will depend on this – the Russians respect American strength. Strength itself,” Zelenskyy concluded.The summit between Trump and Putin is set to take place on August 15 in Alaska. Demonstrations in support of Ukraine are being held in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city.Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron have agreed to meet after the Alaska summit. On the day of the meeting, Trump stated that territorial exchanges would be discussed with Putin, but the decisions would ultimately be made by Ukraine.
