Zelensky to meet with Kellogg on Thursday

Zelensky announced this in his evening video address, Ukrinform reports.

"This is a political moment -- many meetings and consultations took place today: with the military command, intelligence officials, and ministers, all in preparation for negotiations with the U.S. president's representative. General Kellogg is already in Kyiv. He has met with Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi, heads of intelligence and special services, as well as the Head of the President's Office. Our meeting with General Kellogg is scheduled for tomorrow, and it is very important for us that our discussions and overall cooperation with America remain constructive," Zelensky said.

"With the support of both America and Europe, peace can be more secure, and that is our goal. Most importantly, this should be a shared objective with our partners. Especially as we approach the third anniversary of this war -- a war that we in Ukraine have wanted to end from the very first second. I am confident that we will achieve this, ensuring a lasting peace. A peace that prevents Russia from ever returning to Ukraine, that brings our people home from Russian captivity, and that guarantees Ukraine's future. This is a normal aspiration for every nation," Zelensky added.

As previously reported, General Keith Kellogg arrived in Kyiv early on Wednesday, February 19.
