Direct Language: “This time, we also suggested meeting the leaders, because we understand that fundamental issues can only be resolved at this level.”

“The Ukrainian delegation suggested that this meeting in August. Why? Because any day within this period is the vision of our partners, including the United States, and set by President Trump the last time to find a solution.”
