Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that Kyiv was preparing for another trilateral meeting aimed at ending the four-year-war with Russia, although the format of the meeting has not been finalized yet.
Addressing the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities under the President, Zelenskiy said on Thursday that the meeting will take place in the near future.
"Ending the war and peace in Ukraine is the number one issue and the number one task for me, for our negotiating group, for Ukraine as a whole. We are today in a trilateral process of various agreements,” Zelenskiy said.
He explained that due to the war in the Middle East, there were postponements of such meetings. “The last one was in video format. There was a conversation with representatives of the group of the President of the United States and we agreed that in the near future there will be a trilateral meeting, or there will be a format when the American group comes to us, probably then it will go to the neighbors.”
In his words, work is ongoing to finalize security guarantees for Ukraine. In particular, uncertainties persist regarding how the military will be financed once the war concludes and how the provision of air defense systems will be maintained. He also emphasized the complicated question of how the United States might react if Russia were to launch another wave of aggression.
The previous round of peace Russia-Ukraine peace talks was held in Geneva on February 16-17. Following the meeting, Zelenskiy claimed there was a progress in military issues, namely monitoring the ceasefire, and in political issues – territories, Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and other sensitive issues.
