Today, I received a report from our negotiating team following two days of meetings and talks in the Emirates – with the American side and with the Russian side. I am expecting the team in Kyiv for a full in-person report, as many aspects cannot be properly discussed over the phone. What can already be said is that further meetings are planned in the near future, likely in the United States.

We are ready for all workable formats that can genuinely bring peace closer and make it reliable, lasting, and such that deprives Russia of any appetite to continue the war. It is crucial that this war ends in a way that leaves Russia with no reward for its aggression. This is one of the key principles that restore and guarantee real security. I thank all our partners who support us in this.
