Brussels, 6 March 2025 – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy summed up a busy day at the European Council Summit in Brussels, where he held a series of key meetings with leaders of the European Union and NATO. He made the announcement on his Telegram channel.
According to the Head of State, Ukraine, together with its partners, presented a vision of real steps towards a quick and fair peace capable of stopping the war and guaranteeing security for Europe.
First steps towards peace
Zelenskyy outlined the priority measures:
– “Silence in the Skies” – a complete cessation of missile strikes, drone attacks and bombing of Ukraine’s civilian and energy infrastructure.
– “Silence at Sea” – to stop hostilities in the Black Sea to ensure safe navigation.
These steps are seen as the beginning of a broader peace process to end the war and ensure long-term stability in the region.
The diplomatic marathon continues
The President announced an important meeting next week in Saudi Arabia with the Crown Prince. The Ukrainian delegation will remain in Riyadh to work with American partners on further steps towards peace.
“Ukraine is most interested in peace. As we told President Trump, Ukraine is working and will work exclusively constructively for the sake of a quick and lasting peace,” Zelenskyy said.
Key meetings in Brussels
As part of the summit, Zelenskyy held talks with President of the European Council Antonio Costa, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, President of France Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister of Belgium Bart de Vever, Austrian Chancellor Stocker, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Following the discussions, the Ukrainian President thanked the European partners for their support and active participation in the search for peace.
“It was a very productive day for Ukraine and the whole of Europe. We know what we have to do and we are working on practical solutions to win peace,” Zelenskyy concluded.
