President Volodymyr Zelensky does not rule out the creation of a four-party working group that would include Russian representatives to work on peace arrangements.

He said this in a comment to journalists, Ukrinform reports.

“As for our working groups, the Ukraine-U.S. working group already exists; it has demonstrated results and produced the relevant documents. Then, on documents where we needed European partners, we had a trilateral working group and its meeting in Berlin. Now, if we move forward—and I hope quickly—toward the 20-point plan that is to be signed by four parties, Ukraine, Europe, the United States, and Russia, then, most likely, the technical group should be four-party. We are fine with that,” Zelensky said.

According to Zelensky, there are currently questions regarding the possibility of a trilateral meeting between the leaders of the United States, Ukraine, and Russia, or holding telephone conversations.

“I emphasize once again: We are not hiding from anyone, we are open to any format options that can bring us closer to ending the war,” he added.

Zelensky уточнив that “yesterday there was a meeting with the President [Trump], and he told me that our teams will now work and then he will call me. I told him, and we agreed, that our advisers will all come to Kyiv; now we will gather everyone. The coming days, not weeks, because we need to move quickly,” the President stressed.

He added that this would be followed by a meeting with European leaders. “We will try to gather everyone somewhere in Europe, and after that, we will do everything to ensure that we have a constructive meeting in the United States of America, already at the level of leaders and with the President of the United States.”

As Ukrinform reported, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that significant achievements had been made following talks with Donald Trump in Florida.
