“For a long time, there was a format with the Americans and Russians again. We had time to discuss various issues of a more military nature – those related to steps to end the war and real control, monitoring. There are issues that should be prepared for the next meeting. We previously talked about the teams meeting again on Sunday. It would be good if we could speed up this meeting,” the president said.
He promised that Ukraine would be “maximum prepared for all things that should be discussed and agreed upon.”
“Ukraine is and will always be on the side of peace, and the only one through whom this war is still going on is Russia. We need real results of diplomacy. So that there is no impression that the Russians are also using the negotiation process with a very cynical, harsh goal – they are putting off new measures of pressure on Russia that could work. And pressure is needed… It is necessary that the partners do not forget about this,” Zelenskyy added.
