President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Ukraine was grateful to the United States and to President Donald Trump for all U.S. efforts aimed at helping Kyiv.

“Ukraine is thankful to the United States, to every American heart and particularly to President Trump for the help which, starting with Javelin (missiles), saves Ukrainian lives,” Zelenskyy wrote on X after Trump said Ukraine’s leaders had expressed “zero gratitude” for U.S. assistance.

Zelenskyy also expressed thanks to Europe and the G7 and G20 groupings of countries for their help, saying efforts to maintain this support were important.

“That is why we work so carefully on every point, on every step toward peace,” he wrote. “Everything must work out the right way—so that this war is truly ended and so that it does not happen again.”
