“ I am grateful to every state, every leader whose representatives are in Ukraine and with Ukraine. This is a testament to faith in our country, respect for the Ukrainian people, and trust in our strength and ability to achieve Ukrainian goals”,  Zelensky said.

He informed that during the meeting, they discussed, among other things, the need for clear and principled cooperation for the implementation of the Peace Formula, greater security for both Ukraine and each of the partner countries, as well as for the internal transformation of Ukraine.

As reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with diplomats, representatives of states, and international organizations on February 22, where he outlined Ukraine's main tasks for 2024.
