“We have several sets [of issues] to discuss. In particular, it is the security bloc.

The issue of Nord Stream 2 - I consider it to be the security bloc, I unite this. The issue of Donbas. The issue of Crimea and security on the Black Sea and Azov coasts. The issue of the Ukrainian fleet," Zelensky said.

In addition, according to the President, the economic issues will be also raised.

"For us, the support of the IMF is very important. However, I want to shift [the talk] from politics specifically to the economy and reforms. And there are some structural beacons, and if we agree on them, then we are partners with the IMF," Zelensky said. 

Zelensky also added that before his travel to Washington, he would meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, where he would also discuss all these pressing issues.
