Sybiha clarified that all diplomatic efforts were now focused on ensuring a peaceful process.

"Yes, Ukraine is interested in top-level contacts, in a meeting between President Zelensky and President Trump, because some of the most sensitive issues can be discussed only at the leaders' level," he said.

Sybiha earlier stated that Ukraine would use every opportunity, even the smallest, to achieve a just peace and that it was critically important "not to allow anyone to portray Ukraine or Europe as an obstacle to peace."
