Zelenskyy: On Monday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, met with Edgars Rinkevics, the president of Latvia, and Alexander Stubb, the president of Finland, on his meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Zelenskyy said that the Russians are disseminating false information to defend their attacks on Ukraine.

“I had a conversation with Alexander Stubb, the president of Finland. We spoke about the diplomatic situation, our prospects and possibilities, and the results of the talks with President Trump and his staff, as we often do with Alex,” he said in a post on X.

“Although the Russians are spreading fakes to justify their strikes on Ukraine and the further prolongation of this war, the world’s key intelligence services must have the real information,” he said.

“I had a conversation with Edgars Rinkevics, the president of Latvia. I told him about our work with the U.S. negotiation team and my meeting with President Trump. In a post on X, he said, “We worked very well, and the fact that the Russians are now attempting to impede progress with yet another round of fakes only confirms the quality of our meetings and communication with the American side.”

I had a conversation with @edgarsrinkevics, the president of Latvia. I expressed my gratitude to him for the unwavering support and help that Ukrainians have valued since 2022.

I told him about our work with the U.S. negotiation team and my meeting with President Trump. We did a great job,

Zelenskyy said that the purported Ukrainian attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s home was a “fabrication” and that Ukraine would not jeopardize diplomatic efforts.

Zelenskyy’s reaction followed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s announcement that Moscow will alter its negotiating stance after purported attacks on Putin’s house in the Novgorod area overnight on Monday.

Once again, Russia is undermining the successes of our joint diplomatic efforts with President Trump’s administration by making threatening remarks. We continue to collaborate to advance peace.

This purported “residence strike” narrative is a total fiction meant to support…

“Russia is at it again, using dangerous statements to undermine all achievements of our shared diplomatic efforts with President Trump’s team,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X. We continue to collaborate to advance peace. This purported “residence strike” narrative is a total fiction meant to defend both Russia’s own unwillingness to take the required actions to end the conflict and more strikes against Ukraine, especially Kyiv. Typical falsehoods from Russia. In addition, the Russians had already attacked Kyiv, including the building housing the Cabinet of Ministers.
