Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed hope that an agreement with Russia can be reached by the end of 2026, APA reports.
According to Zelenskyy, there were no negative aspects during the talks held in Abu Dhabi with the participation of representatives from Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
He noted that US representatives had traveled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin with concrete proposals, and the Ukrainian side wants them to return to the Dublin meeting with concrete proposals as well.
"I don't really believe in it, allow me to be skeptical. But there is still hope," Zelenskyy stated.
He emphasized that progress in the negotiations is possible. According to the President, this will largely depend on the format of the US delegation's meeting with Putin on November 12.
Zelenskyy added that, considering the political changes expected in Europe and the United States next year, the negotiating parties want to achieve a result by the end of 2026. He stated that Ukraine would do everything possible to achieve this goal.
