Quote: "I know that Kyrylo Budanov is communicating and working with the leader of the faction [Davyd Arakhamiia, leader of Servant of the People – ed.] and meeting with certain MPs concerning parliamentary challenges – this is important right now.

Secondly, the negotiation process: Budanov is working in the same group as Rustem Umierov [Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council], Davyd Arakhamiia and Serhii Kyslytsia [First Deputy Head of the President's Office]. I believe they are working together well as a team. We are trying to make sure they complement one another. That is how they are working today. There are no conflicts. At least, I am not aware of any."

Details: Zelenskyy emphasised that the main goal in the negotiation process is for the Ukrainian side to "push through to the end of the war".

Quote: "They are doing everything they can. I am satisfied with Kyrylo's work in the areas I asked him to focus on."
