Ukraine continues negotiations in US for just peace – Zelensky

The Ukrainian delegation will continue negotiations in the United States to clarify the details of the meeting between Trump's representatives and Russia, and to coordinate further steps to achieve a just peace.

President Zelensky said this in his evening address, Ukrinform reports.

"Our task now is to obtain full information about what was said in Russia and what other pretexts Putin has come up with to drag out the war and to pressure Ukraine – to pressure us, our independence," Zelensky emphasized.

He noted that Ukraine is prepared for any scenario: "of course we will work as constructively as possible with all our partners to ensure that peace is achieved – and that it is, after all, a dignified peace."

According to him, true, just peace is possible only if Ukraine has real security.

"Only a dignified peace provides real security, and we fully understand that this requires – and will continue to require – the support of our partners," Zelensky stressed.

He said that Ukraine is actively working through all elements of future security guarantees, and new meetings on these issues will take place next week.

"Overall, detailed work continues on the entire architecture of the security guarantees we need. These include military, economic, and political components," he said, adding that new international contacts on these matters will also take place next week.

As Ukrinform reported, Volodymyr Zelensky discussed with European Council President Antonio Costa contacts with partners and Ukraine's upcoming negotiations with the American side.
