Ukraine planning further talks with United States – Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his nightly video address, Ukrinform reports.

The head of state heard a report from Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov regarding communication with U.S. partners.

"We are planning the schedule of meetings and further negotiations, and Ukraine is as constructive as possible and as fast as possible in this process. We are not dragging out time – unlike Russia. They have already dragged things out enough, to be honest," Zelensky said.

He noted that Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine has now lasted as long as Nazi Germany's war against the Soviet Union.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated earlier that Ukraine's delegation was ready to travel to the United States to continue peace negotiations once the appropriate signal is received from the U.S.
