Addition
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier today, May 20, announced a series of negotiations with partners. In particular, he discussed the conversation with Trump and pressure on the Russian Federation with the President of Finland, against the backdrop of the fact that Russia, apparently, "is trying to buy time to continue the war and occupation", as he reported on social media.
Meloni and Stubb were among those European leaders with whom Zelenskyy spoke to Trump on May 19, following the US President's conversation with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin.
