Foreign Minister Ian Borg said Saturday Malta is prepared to serve as a base for peace talks after Friday's row between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Speaking on RTK103, the Foreign Minister said he contacted to "those who I felt like I should talk to" so that, if a summit is held between the US, Europe and allies on Ukraine, Malta could serve as the venue.

"But if you want to offer that space, you can't attack any side," he said. "I'm convinced we should align ourselves - Europe, the US, Canada, and other countries - with the Ukrainian cause, even for ourselves, for our freedom and for European security."

Borg said many other countries have also made similar offers, but we are ready and willing to provide a space for talks. He noted that Malta has hosted top-ranking US, Russian and Chinese officials over the past year. 

Prime Minister Robert Abela has as yet pronounce himself following the confrontation at the Oval Office on Friday.

Opposition Leader Bernard Grech joined EU leaders in supporting Ukraine. "We stand with Ukraine, unwavering in our support for President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people. Stay strong, stay resilient, stay united," Grech posted on X.

Roberta Metsola, Maltese MEP and President of the European Parliament, also so Ukraine will will never be alone in this fight. "Your dignity honours the bravery of the Ukrainian people [...] We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace."
