Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he hopes diplomacy can be “reinvigorated” following recent talks between Ukrainian officials and the United States, APA reports.
In a post on X, Zelenskyy said Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council Rustem Umierov had presented a report on his recent contacts in the U.S., describing the negotiations as “substantive.”
“We are coordinating the schedule of the necessary visits and expect envoys of the U.S. President in Kyiv at the turn of spring and summer. We hope this time we will be able to realize what has been planned and reinvigorate diplomacy,” Zelenskyy wrote.
According to the Ukrainian president, the sides also discussed humanitarian issues, including the continuation of prisoner-of-war exchanges.
“We are refining the details of arrangements that can guarantee security. Importantly, there is a constructive approach, and we need to move toward peace by strengthening Ukraine and our bilateral relations with the United States,” he added.
