At the G7 summit, US President Donald Trump declared his intent to do whatever he can to end the Russia‑Ukraine war, calling the high casualty toll "ridiculous" and urging Moscow to make a deal.

1. Young people. They're just starting their life, they go to this front and they get blown up. And Ukraine is losing a lot of people too. The whole thing is ridiculous.
2. I don't like to see 25,000 young people die every month.
3. I settled eight wars. This was the one I thought was going to be the easiest to settle.
4. Admit the whole thing is ridiculous. So, yeah, I'm going to do whatever I can.

1. The right negotiation is one in which Ukraine and Russia are at the table, but with Europeans and Americans present as well.
Ursula Von Der Leyen
European Commission
1. The situation in 2026 is very different from 2025. Ukraine is bravely holding the frontline. Russia's fatigue is openly showing.
2. Russia's fatigue is openly showing. That's the time to double down on ⁠our support.
3. The tide is turning for Ukraine. The situation in 2026 is very different from 2025. Ukraine is bravely holding the frontline.

1. And in that respect, once again, it gives me a certain degree of optimism that we here, as Europeans and as Americans, are now doing everything we can, together, to end the war.
2. I found him to ⁠be very cooperative, and I also saw him listening very attentively.
3. Ukraine is now in a new position of strength.
4. I have a certain optimism that Europeans and Americans [will] do everything to end this war.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. I think this is a very important thing, try to organise a meeting before the winter. It was a terrible winter for us, and you have to understand we don't want to go through the same winter.
2. Putin, he doesn't have any feelings about losses. Can you imagine, 35,000 of Russian losses each month? Heavily wounded or killed? Somebody has to stop him.
3. It is key that everything discussed be implemented. Russia must come to learn that its war will never be normalised. I thank everyone who's helping.
4. More air defence missiles along with licenses to produce them, winter support package, and cranking up pressure on Russia. Importantly, the US is ready to provide backstop across these lines of effort.
5. The key focus is to strengthen air defence for Ukraine and advance diplomacy, to make Russia end its war.
Kirill Dmitriev
Kremlin
1. EU/UK warmongering 'poison pills' to derail peace discussions are too obvious and delay peace by pushing tired, unrealistic solutions.
Alexander Stubb
National Coalition Party
1. We are currently in a situation where Ukraine holds strong positions militarily, politically and economically. Therefore, I believe the time has come for Europe to establish contact with Russia's leadership, specifically president Putin, in order to conduct diplomatic negotiations.
2. I believe this should be led by the major players, namely France, Germany and the UK.
3. Personally, I do not see myself as a representative in this matter.
