The pause in negotiations must be ended. The political part of the Ukrainian negotiating team is already on its way, and a meeting is expected in the United States on Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced.

“There has been a pause in the talks, and it is time to resume them. We are doing everything to ensure that the negotiations are genuinely substantive. The Ukrainian team – the political members of the negotiating group – is already on the way, and we expect a meeting this Saturday in the United States,” Zelenskyy said in an evening address on Thursday.

He reported on a meeting held today with representatives of the negotiating group: Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Rustem Umerov, Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Budanov, and head of the Servant of the People faction David Arakhamia.
