President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “We have received signals from the U.S. side indicating readiness to continue working within the existing negotiation formats to bring an end to Russia’s war against Ukraine.

“There has been a pause in the talks, and it is time to resume them. We are doing everything to ensure that the negotiations are genuinely substantive.

 “The Ukrainian team – the political members of the negotiating group – is already on the way, and we expect a meeting this Saturday.

“Our priority is to do everything possible to create the conditions for a dignified peace.”
