I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

Feb. 2, 1959. Buddy Holly's last show. 66 years ago tomorrow (at 1:00 a.m.), Buddy Holly's plane went down in a field near Clear Lake, Iowa. This is the last known photo of Buddy, taken 66 years ago today. That's Waylon Jennings playing bass in the background, over Buddy's right shoulder. Roughly 1.5 hours after this photo was taken, Buddy was gone. Here's Buddy's set list from that night. The last song he played, Brown Eyed Handsome Man, is a Chuck Berry tune.
Gotta Travel On
Salty Dog Rag
It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Peggy Sue
That'll Be the Day
It's So Easy
Everyday
Oh, Boy!
Early in the Morning
Rave On!

Really interesting result of Twitter's thumbnail compression here: when you see this tweet on your timeline, a lot of the lines appear green; when you expand the tweet, there are fewer; and when you expand the image itself, you discover that there are no green lines at all
