According to Ukrinform, Zelensky said this in a post on Facebook.

He also briefed President Keller-Sutter on the recent talks in Istanbul and stressed the importance of unity and coordination among all partners — especially the United States — to achieve a full and unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine.
