Quote: "We are in constant contact with the American side regarding our negotiators. We are waiting for the arrival of the negotiating team, but in my view, it is taking too long. Unfortunately, for the US, Ukraine is not in focus right now – for them, the Iran issue is number one. Unfortunately, we are standing in a queue of these wars."

Details: Zelenskyy added that the United States remains the key actor capable of pushing Putin toward ending the war, and that the best option for Ukraine is to involve both the US and Europe in negotiations.

Quote: "We support any format, and I am ready for direct talks with Putin to end this war, rather than waiting in line until everyone finishes all conflicts in the world, and only then will it come to us.

Thanks to our Armed Forces, we have remarkable strength on the battlefield, and we have achieved very serious progress in deep strikes."
