a number of European leaders have arrived.

And at the meeting of the Coalition of Willing, there were a number of speeches reiterating support for Ukraine and reiterating specific pledges that they made in the past.

Kirsten mentioned about the importance of air defence systems for Ukraine, because Ukrainian cities have been...

hammered by Russian airstrikes recently, and mostly they were targeting energy facilities and power plants and substations, and therefore there's a massive energy crisis now in Ukraine because of these attacks.

Earlier, President Zelensky just complained that their Patriot systems simply had no missiles to intercept those Russian ballistic weapons, and therefore Ukraine says that they need more interceptors in order to stop those attacks.

Yes, it has been already raised by journalists asking the president's press office whether anybody from the U.S.

will be attending and what it means, the fact that they are not in Kiev.

They haven't given any specific response to this question.

However, Kiev...

maintains the position that U.S.

is crucial to achieve a peace deal, and the U.S.

is involved directly in the peace talks.

And therefore, Kyiv says that without U.S.

support, without the pressure that the U.S.

can apply, it will be incredibly hard to achieve a peace deal.

Kyiv is now trying to be very diplomatic.

They don't directly criticize President Trump or his administration because they already had a very negative experience back in the U.S.

when there was a span between President Zelensky and President Trump.

And therefore, they learned the lesson that in order to win over, they cannot antagonize President Trump.

By criticizing his actions and therefore by choosing carefully the words, by saying praises to President Trump for all these actions, Ukraine hopes that President Trump can be convinced to provide greater support for Ukraine.
