“Everything depends on this combination - constructive diplomacy plus pressure. Both components are aimed at peace“, he wrote on Telegram.
The Ukrainian leader confirmed that Kiev is preparing a meeting in the United States. The negotiating team includes Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andriy Khnatov.
