“Is that even with all of our efforts to bring this war to an end, and to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine, our victory can only come through the grace of God. We know that God has intervened to deliver peace between nations before and has empowered leaders to bring about peace. In Exodus, as the Israelites led a turn around for empire, God went before his people, paving their safe passage. And during this time, Moses instructed the people, don’t be afraid, just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today.”

SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
“Today, the battle between good and evil continues. Russia continues to attack, continues to knock us down, to destroy us. This must be stopped. It must be stopped. I believe that together we can achieve this. We will achieve peace, a peace that will be lasting, that will endure. That is what all our prayers are for today. And they will certainly be heard. They are being said today in hundreds of different languages. And by our friends from different spiritual communities, from different continents. I want to thank them for their presence here today. In our hearts here in Ukraine. Thank you.”

STORYLINE:
U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Keith Kellogg said in Kyiv on Monday that officials are “working very, very hard” on efforts to end the three-year war between Russia and Ukraine, as a lack of progress fuels doubts about whether a peace settlement could be on the horizon.
Officials are “hoping to get to a position where, in the near term, we have, with a lack of a better term, security guarantees” that address Ukraine’s fears of another invasion by Russia in the future, Kellogg said.
“That’s a work in progress,” Kellogg said of the potential security guarantees after attending Ukraine’s annual National Prayer Breakfast along with politicians, business leaders and diplomats.
A week ago, Trump said he had set in motion arrangements for direct peace talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskyy.
