Zelenskyy Confirms New Diplomatic Push
Speaking in a late-Monday evening video message, Zelenskyy explained that Ukraine’s representatives remain in close coordination with their US counterparts “so that real decisions for the sake of peace can be scaled up,” as the full-scale Russia–Ukraine conflict nears its fifth year later this month.
“Today, there was a meeting with our delegation – the guys are already en route. The meetings will take place on Wednesday and Thursday. And not only in a trilateral format, but we will also have our own bilateral format with the United States,” Zelenskyy said.
According to the Ukrainian leader, several matters still need alignment, alongside “issues to be agreed upon,” and “substance that requires further work.” He emphasized that Ukraine is prepared on security guarantees, while Kyiv and Washington are “actively engaged” in discussions related to Ukraine’s reconstruction and long-term growth after the war.
“It is important that during this time the United States also decisively supports dialogue – all available opportunities for dialogue – and works with the Russian side accordingly, so that Russian strikes and Russian terror do not derail what can be achieved,” he added.
The first round of three-party negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States was held in Abu Dhabi, the Emirati capital, on Jan. 23–24.
Following those talks, both Kyiv and Washington characterized the discussions as “constructive," while Moscow stated that engagement had started in a positive spirit, though acknowledging that there was still "significant work ahead."
